I logged on tonight to see this statement in w/c.

Going rate for res is 10k, pay or lay.

To which I responded in pm (and I was on my cleric)maybe a tank should charge you for their services for tanking your FB.. pay or wait til u can do it yourself.

Then I did a wc-maybe a tank should charge for their services too.

To which I got a multiple of pms saying you should add DD's to that too or right on thnx for saying that... the list goes on.

But.. why on earth would ppl think they need compensation for doing what we all do.. Which is use the skills our characters have? I just don't understand this.

So I'm going to do a poll to see if (as many of my fellow forumers think I am)I am nuts or off on this subject. Thanks for reply.

    Ridiculous to charge for skills that the rest of us have and use. Us clerics help others out..if you don't want to do it then don't but charging is plain greed. All it is.

    acc 2 me it depends on situation


    A) Fb may or maynot : Cause as Reward they get EXp , but pay others if they die cause of YOUR fault (personal opinion)

    A)Cleric : Normally i pay For Clerics all Buffs in term of Gold or DQ items , but i saw many Cleric who buffs , res for Free (thanks 2 all clerics doing 4 free )

    Res :Nop :P , i rarely pays nops Majority of clerics dont Accept pays for Resing me, (idk why ) . Still i am willing 2 pay Cause if no clerics Res me i am forced to Tele to Town which loosees 2 much exp other wise i am forced to Buy Mall item (~ 25-30k) ,

    A) Barb -mayor maynot b depends on situation(if fb nop) other Quest (depends)

    If the ex-corpse OFFERS payment (ie, tipping their rezzer), that's one thing. But to demand payment...?
    That's good ol' fashion extortion. I hope said cleric's tanks start sending him the repair bills for dungeon runs. Or venos, a grocery bill for pet food (hope you don't party up with herc or 'nix users, buddy!)

    Lol, that's just foolish. They wasted 15k to demand 10k that no one will ever pay. At least, I hope not for their own sake. b:shocked

    Lol I didn't think of that, makes the person even more silly.

    I agree, if a tip offered awesome, if not your demand can go with u to your dungeon!!

    emphatic NO! its bad enough that the game is so commercial as is, with the cash shop, etc. but to people to charge to do things they are here to do anyway, that would make it so that no one but the rich players would be able to get anything done, when we need help. bad enough that squads steal tabbers' drops so much of the time (unless you are in an honest guild, or with friends you can trust not to steal). but to start charging for everything, that wil be the end of this game. this is not what the game is supposed to be about....if no one remembers the backstory, here you go:

    http://pwi.perfectworld.com/info

    "In the beginning of time, the first God of the universe, Pan Gu, lived an immortal life. But with no subjects to lord over, Pan Gu grew tired of his solitary existence and decided to decompose his body into five elements-fire, metal, wood, earth, and water. With his divine power, Pan Gu forged these elements into air, land, mountains, rivers, seas, and plant life

    Paying for rez? Ewww.... no thank you.

    I'll gladly repay by buffing the cleric. But I'd never repay via coins.

    I don't ask for payment for skills nor do I think that should be implemented.

    However, I do understand the frustration of some clerics [and I would venture to say barbs as well feel this] to always end up paying the most for their squad roles. Barbs with repair costs, clerics with mp charms. There are squad runs where the mats can't even cover the cost of the run. Couple that with no "thank yous" or little gratitude shown and it's enough to make someone try to charge for services. Just a genuine thanks makes things worthwhile. Those classes are already, as a whole, the poorest.

    Pay or Lay LMAO

    I think that's totally dumb. Frankly, I miss being a cleric, because I feel like I'm really helping ppl, and I like helping people. Would I ever charge for my services? Goodness no!

    Charge for my service of shortening the length of time clerics need to burn their MP charm and reducing barb repair bills? Tempting, but my squad members make my run smoother as much as I make theirs go faster, so why would I? :P

    i definately agree with you on this. my faction helps with fbs and we dont charge anything. we even let the person who needs the fb keep all the loot. well i just wanted to say that i dont think you should have to pay for help unless you offer to. demanding payment is wrong.
