I get asked to help on a BH 59, I say sure. get into squad, then told I have to pay someone 50k because they have wine AND give my drops to them? WTH people? didn't you ask me for my help? why the hell should I pay to help? I'm a lvl 92 barb, I can solo FB 19-79........why should I pay for wine I don't need? why should I pay when I don't even get the FB experience? how is it fair to pay someone to get the wine then have them keep all the drops as well? wouldn't keeping ALL drops make up for the wine? or the 50k per squad member then let the members keep the drops? when did all this take place? don't ask for my help for something I don't need then DEMAND I pay to be in squad. if anything, you should be paying me for my help.

evidently this is becoming common practice. if this is the case.....b:byeb:bye

    generally it's pay or drops, but doesn't usually apply to people who are just summoned in to help

    Lol this is a new one to me... cheek of some people.

    Why are they using wine on BH59 anyway ? All the squads Ive been asked to tank for run it unwined, and if they need two bosses that are not next to each other in the door opening proccess, they disband the squad and then reform.

    Im all for helping if people ask politely ... but lol at those you met who asked you to pay to help them b:puzzled

    Ah, this reminds me the old FB threads... where tabbers would demand to be paid to let people join.. or they would make people pay for the wines...

    Soon, they will start claiming that is the rule and anyone that does not agree with be put down.... just wait and see.
    Too often we loose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and slap that mother#$@%#^! upside the head.

    my woman who is a lvl 92 cleric also had this happen TWICE today, once on a BH 69 and a BH 79.

    needless to say, those who do this, at least to us, won't be getting help.

    This happened purely bc of Bounty Hunter. I believe that it is lower level players who are confused about the wines.

    They see and hear people sharing the cost of the wine for BH runs. Then they also see and hear that the tabber gets all drops from a FB run. It's easy to see how it can be construed as the correct way of doing things.

    If this ever happens to me, I just tell em it's either or. Cant have the squad contribute pay for the wines AND expect to keep all the drops just bc you tabbed.

    there is a buttom called "leave squad" for such incidents.
    1. If I kill you; do something about it yourself, don't go complaining to my wife.
    2. If you have less kill counts then me, don't expect me to take pk advice from you.
    3. If you are hiding behind an alt, don't expect me to acknowledge your existence.

    Wine'n is a waste on most BH imo. Ive done plenty of Bh79 and 89 unwined and completed it just as fast as with a wine. Waste of mats for the whole deal in my personal opinion. Only worth wine'n Fb99...

    Wow...pay to be in squad and give all drops? Yowzas.

    Even more fail is that it was BH59...Did it a bunch of times and never wined nor whined about it.

    Either pay winer in mats/coins or give winer molds +3star drops.

    Why would you wine 59? Do they hate rep or something?

    They probably just discovered wine and are as drunk as the old man, minus the ability to clear monsters.

    But like others said/implied, stamps drop from 59, is an outstanding source of rep, and it doesn't even take very long. Hell, I'd understand if you wined for Wyvern in BH51 way before any of the three possible BH59 bosses. To this point for all my chars 59's have always been the easiest, and only slightly less fun than 79.
