Do you think it would be evil if we start charging for our services?

What if barbs started charging for pulls and tanking?

I have seen FF squads paying for a barb because they are desperate. It would be nice if people paid for a ress, especially if you died too. It would cover the cost of the ress scroll and angel.

Sometimes I think clerics are the most neglected and abused class in the game. I always appreciate my temper when I'm on my cleric. b:chuckle The only I ever really considered charging for my cleric's services was in Rebirth because the BM was a jerk and wouldn't get the mana regen thingy. It ate up my charm pretty badly. =(

It's up to you, really.

Charging squadmates is ridiculous as they are tanking and hitting things for you and that's payment enough. However, if you get randoms asking for resses and buffs, feel free to impose a fee. I usually do that when I'm not in the mood and/or I get an irritating begz0r on my tail and usually it chases them away.

A lot of people said what I was thinking but personally, I don't charge because it doesn't feel right. Perfect World isn't such a game that players need to become mercenaries just to get by. One of the best things about being a Cleric in PW is doing nice things for people who really need it, at least it is for me. What's better is when they're profusely giving their thanks and it's a nice surprise when they do decide to give coins or items.

Of course, I have no qualms about charging annoying begz0rz and **** squadmates.

That's just me though. If you feel like people owe you for your services, you can ask for payment but don't be surprised if people refuse and decide to wait for someone who would do it for free.

TBH, it really depends on the situation.

If you're looking to join a squad for a specific purpose then asking for money on top of getting whatever you need done is just selfish and stupid.

If you're talking about, say...standing around in Snowy Village advertising x amount of coin for 1 hour buffs, with your customer base being people soloing/duoing FC, then I really don't see a problem with it.

Charging for squad work in instances where you really don't need anything done? Well...again I can see it if you're advertising up front that you're renting yourself out for coin. But really...that's going under a pretty big assumption that you can, in fact, help out with whatever the squad is looking for help with in the first place. Also, you'd forego the right to complain about any and all costs or exp loss in that case, as well as any claim to anything that drops that's worth value.

I dunno. Personally I couldn't be bothered to set up a 'Rent-A-Cleric' service myself...but I don't think I could condemn anyone else for doing so, as long as it was done strictly for 'business purposes', and not because a greedy Cleric doesn't feel like paying for their own pots/charm/insertothernecessitieshere.

A lot of clerics play this class because, by nature, they are people who get along well with others. Not all of them are generous, but most I've met are.

I have a cleric that is almost to level 50, and I've been exp dumping into my genie in order to save up enough spirit to max my buffs, res, purify...you get the point. Sometimes I like to fly around the mines and broken bow bluff looking for people to buff and heal. I like to help people, sometimes, and when I do I play my cleric XD.

Being a low level cleric, I'm obviously not to the point where charging for my services is a viable option. But I really don't think charging people is something I'll be tempted to do even in the later levels.

Haha if the leader didnt get mp regen from the very start i'd drop bb and leave squad right before first pull came in. Thats just messed up to not get mp Regen.

tbh, a simple 'please' and a 'thank you' will do for me, if people are willing to pay for a cleric, i wouldn't hesitate tho..alot of people that ask for my buffs are sins ( figures ).. if you're in a bad mood, go ahead and charge the people, but don't charge for squads..besides, what is better : charge low lvls for your buffs and regret it later..or buff them now so they can help you later on? I mean, come on..charge 20k for buffs? it's like asking 5k just to pm you >.>

i have a 80 cleric and a 62 seeker, both with full friend lists because i help people, i don't ruin their gameplay , i love to help

so..every Lost City player, if u need buffies , pm YueCleric or look for my seeker , SeekerYue
