First off a big thanks to all that sat the H&N test - Part 2, as the original thread is getting a bit crowded (and answers are still comming in) I thought id post the results here - so you can see the dastly deeds of your Co-posters!

Results are in!

Ive taken the 1st 50 answers and calculated to nicity of the people here

Here they be:

Does your firend get a free Key?
Aparently 34 of you (or 68%) would kindly give your friend a key (D)

Does a stranger get a free key?
Sadly this poor stanger isnt as popular as your friend with a whopping 74% (!) of you refusing his plea or feigning ignorance! (A)

Does the newbie get scammed?
Im happy to say that over 1/2 (58%) of you would inform him of the real price (D), as long as he doesnt meet the 2% of you that would undercut his 100g!(A)

Do you make a quick buck?
It seems not only you but the friends of 52% of you would find out about this gem (B). That is if the 20% dont tell first (C)

I am not doubting the results but remember that a lot of people say one thing and do another.

Very true, Even though these result look nice i remember them being much nicer before...But it still seems that at least 50% of the community are nice enough to lend a hand here and there...but few will go the extra yard any more

I used to like helping people, I would just sit in Shing Jea and answer any and all random questions... The game-world is very different now that I'm mainly in RA. :S I might go back there soon, my mesmer is starting to collect dust.

I also used to whisper quitters in RA "Don't play in RA if you're gonna leave" but the amount of people that would leave a match is overwhelming...

I think when you first start to get into the game you're a lot more helping and patience, but after seeing so many people get shafted and the assholes who've done it brag about it or people in town spamming racial/sexist/perverted crap in local and worse yet when they're in your team. Don't forget about those people running builds that actually hurt your team composition and refuse to change or say they do, but really don't.

When I first started playing I would never leave a group. Even if it was pretty much impossible or other teammates were being aggravating. As long as another player was willing to give it a try I'd stay with them and tough it out.
When I finally gave in and made a monk I'd go out of my way to help people. Even doing missions like THK back to back so they could finally get through.

Now though? The only time I pug is when my guildies are busy, it's something I really need or doing places like FoW because I'm bored. I still will redo missions if my teammates (the nice or even just quiet ones) asked for help for another character and I have the time.
But, when I get noobs (I very rarely, if ever use this word as an insult, but it fits) who insist on running around without the team, using filthy language, bad mouthing everyone and their mother, I'll give a warning. I don't care if my character is expendable or one of the most important, you do it twice more and I will leave.
Map writing is a different story. You get one and only one waring. I've seen far too many crooked penises and swastikas to give anyone leeway for that. I don't even tolerate when my guildies do it to joke around.

So, the way I play with people has definitely changed now. I'm still a nice and helpful person, but my tolerance for the bad ones has slowly but surely whittled down.

BTW, do you happen to have a link to your other thread?

Bah... niceness gets crapped on in the long run. Two days ago a level 9 warrior is in Ascalon asking for a gold sword to buy. I have a spare... a req 9 Cruel Fanged sword of Enchanting, 15^50, 20% in storage... so rather than haggle a price I just gave it to him. Seemed real appreciative, I felt good about it.

Last night... I get an accidental PM from the guy.

Selling Req 9 Cruel Fanged Sword of Enchanting, 15^50, very nice Nightfall skin! 70K.

So... I respond to the guy... you're selling the sword I gave you? "No, I'd never do that! I'm going to keep it forever!"

o.O

See, and there exists the problem.

In the quiz, it was stated that your Aunt is "sick." When myself and my roommate looked at it (as a few other posters did as well), we took it as "sick," not deathly ill.

Like the flu.

In the results, it is mentioned that she's on her deathbed though, an entirely different situation.

People get sick, it's a fact of life. I don't rush to the side of everyone who coughs or sneezes. If they are in a special situation, or otherwise debilitated from said sickness, then yes, I'll probably lend a hand to help out.

But I'm not missing work, because my aunt has a stuffy nose and coughed a few times.

Though, if someone is on their deathbed, that is a very different matter. Before my father died, all my relatives within the same city came, his brothers and one sister (the other is very ill herself) even stayed by his side, night and day for the week prior to his death.

Wording is a fine point, that can make a huge difference. Perhaps that's why we saw some of the votes in the fashion we did. (Don't take this as a knock against the overall quiz, I enjoyed reading it and was interested to see the results.)

Seriously man.. so many people online are just flat out liars. It one of the reasons I highly doubt the "I've been unjustly banned" silliness.

That is why I never give out good gold drops. I always handed out purple or blue to noobies!

Yeah, that sucks and is just too common.

I pretty much only give free gold drops to guildies and alliance members these days for pretty much the same reasons.

Yeah, me too but it's so hard being "heard" with all the spam going on. I wonder how the Scribe can see to pick out those that are nice.

They are poor sports, pure and simple. If they think are going to lose, they quit. No one tries to make the extra effort anymore.
