Be good, get reward. Is it the right thing to do?Follow

Ok, this just happened last night. I was in ssandy after just getting my whm back to 15(got the last 42 xp from killing JEJ, no drop), anyway, the ah wasnt working for some ppl so they couldnt get there crystals to craft. I buy a person a stack of dark crystals, give it to them for free, buy a stack of wind crystals, give it to another person for free. the person that i gave the wind crystals to needed a stack of fire crystals, so she asks me if she can buy them from me this time. So i buy the fire crystals and check the price for a single crystals(300-400)
so i but them in bazaar for 200. she buys them, storys over, or so i thought.

She thens asks me if i do any crafting. i tell her yea, leathercrafting, only lvl 19 though, too expensive.

She says here, check this out, and wishes to trade with me, so im like, ok whatever. She first starts off putting 1 mill in trade box, and im like "Wow, nice", she just says wait theres more. It goes from 1 mil to 2 mil, *drool*, and yet again she says wait theres more, it goes up to 3 mill, *jealous*, one more time she says wait theres even more, and it goes up to 3.5??mil,
Im sitting there thinking "rrr, another person showing of there gil >.<", she then cancels the trade, and wishes to trade again, and says here have this, and make sure you sell it for the right price. so im like maybe something she was crafting, then i cheer up cause she told me earlier she needed crystals for goldsmithing^^.

I wasnt expecting what i got next, a stack of mythril sheets +
a stack of mythril ingots O.O *heart attack*!!!!!!
Im like "WOW, thank you so much, but you really dont have to do this" she says "you saw how much oney i had, i can spare it, and your getting it for actually being helpful."
again im like "WOW, thank you!!!!" and she says "Just remember to sell them for what the worth, cant stress that enough", im like "I Luv you, dont worry i will, and even though i sound like a broken record, THANK YOU" followed by a /em hugs <t>. she then goes off in search of a tele dem, reward 2k. and i warp to jeuno to sell some other stuff i had.

Point of this post is, is it right to accept such a reward when you really didnt do that much. And how many ppl have had something like this happen to you?

Always good when you can help someone out and they reward you in return. :)

I'm a lower lvl leathercrafter myself, and a WHM on top of that, and its very expensive for me. o.o I still can't afford Erase and don't have enough beastmen seals to do the BCNM.

But its good to share your stories of when good things happen. Gives hope to all of us out there reading. :D

I agree.... "What comes around, goes around."

I've helped various people with different things all the time. Like the other day, a newbie player (from bastok) got a tele-holla.... was wanting to get to Sandy. Well, I had just tele-holla myself and he asked me if I was going to Sandy. So, I do a check on his name (/sea all ..... ) and see he's level 9, no subjob. So, I ask him if he needed an escort there. Btw, I was on my way to help a friend of mine out who recently returned back to FFXI. He said it'd be appreciated. Told him I'd take him to the OP in W. Ron. I ended up taking him to the gate leading to So. Sandy. In the end, he tried to give me 2k gil. I told him to keep it, and use it on armor or something he needs. He insisted, and I kept telling him no. "What comes around goes around." Do some favor for another person some day, is all I ask.

Anywayz, the 2k was very kind of him to offer. But me being currently 58 White Mage & 60 Samurai, I can easily farm that gil somewhere. Whereas he's new to the game, and I'm sure didn't have much in the first place.

So anywayz, use your good judgement on whether or not to accept gifts from someone you're helping. I personally won't just "give gil" to any one..... for free, that is. If they're a good person and striving for something, I might chip in. Or even suggest on ways to farm items for gil or farm the gil itself. I may even help them farm too!

Take it from me, someone who's been one of MANY VICTIMS of the Gil Stealing Thief: Cetranne. Who failed to dispurse over 2mil gil worth of stuff after some BCNM runs. I won't get into all that stuff about her. There's already been a topic posted about it here too. Titled "Cetranne = Gil Stealer"

"What Comes Around, Goes Around"

It's good to see that there are still some Good Seeds on this server!

What goes around comes around is BS.

I lost my best friend (in this game and best out of all in real life) and I really don't think I did something to deserve that. I try to always be nice and there is very little return except death and meeting other sad people.

You got lucky that you met someone who plays the game just enough to have a little extra produce. Nothing more.

****ing death.

i don't think it's wrong to accept a reward. They want to thank you for what you've done, you should let them^^ though it is unfortunate that such kindness is something rare enough that the person felt like rewarding you, that is a whole different subject. Accept their kindess, I know i hate it when people won't let me thank them, and i do on occasion reward people for doing more than i expected they would.
