I went AFK today over the middle of nowhere. When I came back, a guy had offered me 5k to res him, and then gotten angry because "5k isn't good enough for you?!" So, I simply responded "5k would be great. But I'm a VENO." And he apologized. b:chuckle

After three years of playing druids, clerics, priests and other healing classes in various MMOs, I'm more likely to side with the healer than with the random guy demanding heals.

Healers are under no obligation to heal anyone not in their party or guild.
There are players who will step in and rescue people if they see someone out in the world who is obviously in over their heads. There are players who will stop and rez people that they come across. There are also players who will toss around buffs like they have a bottomless mana pool. Thing is, demanding that they do so tends to negate any generous tendencies.

Honestly, I agree with the OP- Just because they are a Cleric does not mean they are everyone's *****. Perhaps you should carry rez scrolls with you if you're at a high enough level that it makes a huge difference if you do die. Every player should be responsible for themselves. If you have a chance of dying, get a damn rez scroll. And also, don't DEMAND that they rez you. You ask nicely. b:angry :P And I'm not even a cleric, but it just annoys me people "Rez me, rez me rez me" I mean..... are you going to do anything/give anything to them for doing so? Probably not, so stop complaining.

I see it this way ,you can wine about all this without any respect to others but as u see i play on heavens tear, and the 2 highest lvled charecter on there is a cleric. Who has been on top of the rooster for longer than this tread will last..So the way i see it is that clerics are needed more than winers...do we need some cheese on that guys..

I sure as hell didn't read through all 11 pages but thought I would add my thoughts.

If you are flying somewhere and someone randomly pm's you for a res, and you don't feel like doing so, ignore them. Its very simple.

My view on this is if you want a res you best damn well ask nicely first of all. If I dont feel like resing you for whatever reason and you dont like it, well you can pucker up.....b:kiss

Let me see, not that much. But to make it clear.
Dieing every 2min and asking for res = no res for you.
Ksed my pull = you will die and no res for you.
Shouting res me without saying please = walk by you aka no res for you
Being generally rude = no res for you.

Otherwise i dont mind to res, but i am not a slave to res you the moment you ask, i am doing sumthing just like you, wait go drink coffee and eventually you will be resed.

/Agree ..btw I'm not nice as her, I'm not your b*tch , If you are nice I might rezz. If you are high lvl no excuse for not running without a GA simple. Don't expect a rezz from all clerics, it is a privilege not an obligation.

seems like this is going a little away from the original post.

the op stated that they got a pm asking for a res(no mention of asking rudely) while they were flying on wq.

they then stated they "probably" already passed them.

so while I agree a random cleric shouldn't be asked to drop what they are doing and res some random person clear across the map or to res someone that asks rudely or has been stealing mobs or anything, I fail to see how it seems to be such a big deal to take 30 seconds to res someone your near when they ask(assuming without being rude)

on to barbs stopping to buff while honestly I will buff random ppl if they ask doing so as a barb does require more than a simple click because barb buffs require you to be in squad. unlike cleric buff where you just target and cast

and tanking any boss mobs(other than low lvl ones) takes quite a bit longer than the minute it takes to res someone not to mention repair costs which get pretty high tanking bosses, giving a res will not occur(maybe weapon damage not sure if res damages your weapon so maybe a slight cost to the cleric to res) so I'm not sure how this is really comparable to asking for a res

I think you don't have to ressurect anyone if you don't want to. But it would be nice to ressurect someone if he/she is really close to you.
The only time I asked for a ressurection, the cleric was next to me but totally ignored me. I didn't say anything else after asking him nicely and went to town. So now I never ask any clerics to ressurect me since most ignore me anyway. And besides that, I don't need to. I always make sure I have a few GA just in case. So what if i go to town? I don't care as long as I don't lose any exp.

Dieing every 2min and asking for res = no res for you. - mmm that's so realistic and possible! There's people everywhere falling before your feet!!!
Ksed my pull = you will die and no res for you. - Never said you should rez someone that ksed you
Shouting res me without saying please = walk by you aka no res for you - didn't say this either
Being generally rude = no res for you. - wouldn't rez you either

But to make it clear.
all I'm saying is if you get asked for a rez in an acceptable manner (I don't see why anyone wouldn't) from someone that's about a minutes fly away from you, that you happen to go by while flying to somewhere or something, you'd have to be selfish to not to rez em :P

I don't res people while I'm on my villa quest. Period. Not even in the rare cases where I'm actually paying attention to the screen.The reason is that when I get a request for a rez, I'm usually quite some distance off already, which means a LOT of lost time for me in backtracking, landing, finding the person, fighting off mobs that might be in the way, and casting my spell. After which I have to regain altitude, reset my target, and generally waste a lot of time - especially if I've not noticed the message ticking in instantly, and thus I can easily be in an entirely different area.

Random requests while I'm grinding/killing stuff are treated entirely differently. If you want a res from me, you'd better have had your wits about you and done me a favour first - like throwing -your- buffs on me. Then your bargaining position is better when you ask for a res. If not, then I'm a sticker for politeness and the ability to express the desire for a res in a coherent fashion. So going "rez me!" is the surefire way to NOT get a res from me. Not even "rez mi pls!!" will work. "Will you please revive me?", however, might just work.

I didn't roll a cleric because I was born with a helpful mindset. I rolled a cleric because I have a fondness for glass cannons that can be modified to have some of the highest survivability and grind-ability in the game. That I can keep a squad alive during world bosses is just an added perk, if you ask me.

There have been a couple instances in game where people have yelled at me for not rezzing them. Such as earlier today, I was flying for my WQ and some random guy pmed me to rez him. I told him, I probably passed him already. Then for 10 whole minutes he harassed me, and kept saying how I was a dumb worthless cleric. Honestly, I'm not going go out of my way to rez some random guy.

And I was wondering what other people expect from clerics?

honestly, I think its a privilege that we rez random people XD.

I would of blacklisted this person and maybe maybe report him to support oh just blacklist him at the first insult.

This is not entirely true if res scrolls were cheaper say 500 more other could do ressing.

^<snicker>

I'll start out by saying... I did NOT read all of the pages of posts, so.. I'm sure some of this has already been said.

This is usually a problem in any MMO. At least is has been in any I've played.
I also think the biggest issue here was not so much someone asking to be rezzed, but rather the harassment that was received after they were told "No, I'm not turning back for you."

I personally never count on someone else to heal/rezz me. I make sure that I try to have what I need to take care of myself because I know I can't always be sure someone else will be around to help. Unless I'm in a team/party.. then I expect the cleric to do what they're there to do.

I also hate asking people for this kind of help. Unless I saw a cleric just standing near me doing nothing, I'd probably never even ask someone for a rezz/heal/buff... makes me feel like I'm begging. "OmG! Plz rEz$ m3!!11!! im uSelessss wo sum1 tehre 2 hold mah h4nd!"
... So I probably work by myself a little more often than I should.
