Things that ALL PWI players should know

Here is a list of things I think all people playing PWI should know. This is relevant to high levels, low levels, people who have been playing for a day, a year or four need to realize. I myself have played this game on and off for over four years and am amazed at some of these things I still see happening and people whining about.

This is yes a long rant, but also hopefully informative to some players. Feel free to post your own, i'm sure we all have our pet peeves playing this game
Or feel free to post mean things about me speaking my mind, since thatll just make me laugh and let me know you're probably included in one of the groups mentioned below

1. Just because i'm a high level, DOES NOT mean I need to help you every time you ask.

I, like many other higher levels, occasionally take the time to run a lower level BH, or a FB, or kill a difficult boss etc. And every once in a while, someone will add me to one of their friends lists, and ok whatever sure, add me. Now whenever I log on, or 4 times a day this person will then message me begging for help. They never talk to me otherwise, but even go as far as to "expect" me to do stuff for them.

IE I just log in

Them:Can you do my bh59?
Me:sorry I cant right now
Them:But you just logged in, you cant be busy yet...

Now at this point I probably ignore them while in my head I'm saying many bannable things, along the lines of the much nicer IT IS NOT MY JOB TO DO EVERYTHING FOR YOU YOU LAZY LAZY PERSON.

So do I like helping people? yeah!! I really do actually, but is it my JOB to help people? Nope. I play this game for fun. Not to add a chore to my list.

2. Packs are NEVER EVER EVER going away.
Every few weeks PWI puts out a new pack with like a 1 in 10000 chance to get anything worth getting, and some fashion or wings etc etc etc. And people have continued to buy them since the original Anniversary packs. As long as PWI makes money, and it stays legal (It isn't in PWCN) they will keep coming out. The only possilbe way to make packs go away is to some how magically convince servers and servers of people NOT to buy anymore packs...and that's not even a sure fire way to get rid of them.

If you don't like them? Well join the rest of us who don't. You have 2 choices. Deal with them, Quit, but whining about them isn't going to help any of us.

3. Cash shoppers will always have the advantage
People whine allll the time about people who spend thousands of dollars on this game, yet it has never been easier to farm good gear thanks to Nation Wars. Am I going to claim for a second I'm NOT a cash shopper? No of course not, I see no problem putting some money into a game I sit home and play rather then going out shopping or drinking etc. Am I going to say I'm ok putting $1500 into the game the day r9 came out? Nope, Im not lucky enough to have $1500 to fix my car never mind buy good gear. Do I have any problem with people who do? NOPE!

Cause guess what CASH SHOPPERS ARE THE ONES WHO KEEP PWI FREE FOR THE REST OF PEOPLE. Yes it sucks in NW when you get murdered every 5 seconds by some R999 wizzie with +12 gear, but you may not even be playing at all if PWI became a pay to play game. Also even p2p games have people who can pretty much BUY their way to the best gear.
IE WOW has economists keeping their economy even and fair etc can't stop the people who buy gold from 3rd party websites, nor can they stop those same people from paying raiding guilds to run them through instances and giving them all the new gear that drops.
Is it FAIR that people can just pay to have the best stuff? Nope. But its called life. Its not fair I drive around a car that breaks every ten feet and have college loans i'll be paying off for the rest of my life either while other girls my age drive BMWs and have parents who paid for their college. But thats the way life works.

Spawn killers in Nation Wars are not bad people
If you claim you have never spawn killed someone in NW you are either a liar, or to weak to kill anyone really. Cause guess what. YOU HAVE TO RUN THE FLAG THROUGH SPAWN POINT TO SCORE. So if I tab target someone while following my flag carrier, you just may die. OR in the other case of being in a 20 on 3 fight, people just get bored. You are unable to be harmed for several seconds after spawning. RUN. LEAVE THE BATTLE, JUST DONT WHINE IN WC WHEN YOU DIE. If the battle is 20 on 3, 90% of those 20 people are probably really bored and it's our goal to hunt down those 3 people and entertain ourselves. Its nothing personal. I've been spawn killed thousands of times myself. It is what it is.

If you are in PK mode on a PVE server, and you drop gear, THEY DO NOT HAVE TO GIVE IT BACK.
I play on sanctuary server. It is a PVE server, and you have to CHOOSE to go into pk mode. If you DO choose to go into pk mode, you can avoid dropping gear or items in many ways. 1-safety lock. Yes its a pain, but it may save your gear. 2-Guardian Scrolls. Ok not the cheapest way if you pk alot, but its an option. 3-Don't die. Well if you happen to be one of those r999 +12 people discussed 2 points above, you MAY live all the time, but its obviously risky. If you don't do any of those 3 things, and you then drop gear and someone else picks it up, THEY ARE NOT THIEVES, THEY ARE NOT JERKS, AND NOONE WANTS TO SEE YOUR 100 WC POSTS ABOUT IT. If you CHOOSE to PK, be aware of the consequences.

Getting an in game "kiss" is not cheating nor is it the end of the world
Im sure I can't be the only one whos had this scenerio happen.

Me to friend: Can I get chi? (offer to embrace)
Friend: Sorry my wife might see

Seriously? Your wife might see you help a friend get chi before starting Delta. Are peoples social lives so sad that they freak out over who is carrying or kissing their in game avatar? And believe me Im not saying online relationships aren't real. As a matter of fact, Im marrying my in game husband who I MET on PWI at the end of this month in real life. But if someone presses the kiss button in a game is he cheating on me? Nope. Guess what, its a game, and BOTH people have the choice to press the kiss button. It isn't cheating. Is what they are saying in whispers to the person cheating? Who knows? It might be. But it could also be that its a game and someone needed chi and thought it was funny to hit the kiss button. Ive had a guy friend hold me, and kiss me as a joke only to get told off for days by their ex they didn't tell me was standing there. Really? It's sad, and I know not everyone has the best social skills and the best romantic luck out of the game, but getting so upset over a virtual kiss just makes me cringe.

If you are selling fashion thats an ugly color, dye it, sell it cheaper, or don't whine when people won't buy it
This 1 is last because it is only a pet peeve for girls (and guys) like me who could probably +10 their gear if they sold their wardrobe. (Yup i'll admit it and don't care). I've shopped for fashion in west tho to have a person in a catshop pm me telling me to look at theiiiiir fash. So ok. Sure. Why not. So I go and look and they have 3 dresses all puke yellow or green that they are selling for like 8 mil each when a black 1 three shops over is selling for 13 mil and it takes 20 dyes. Hint. If you want people to buy ugly colored fash, sell it low enough that they can buy both the fash and atleast random dyes because idc how much you need the money, im not going to waste mine on a puke green dress. Id rather wait 2 weeks till someone else is selling one.
