I get too many PMs asking for donation - I always spend time answering back, not to be angry or furious but by giving this people more reliable help - A USEFUL ADVISE. It's funny how some people PM me asking for help then indicating - I AM NOT BEGGING. sweatdrop Below are some of the messages I received and the response I give them. Anonymous Gaian urr , mabey you could help me? Im in need, Im trying to raise gold for my avatar, and the avatar of my friend. ((You can donate un-used items, or just spare gold)) Im absolutly NOT trying to beg, so please, dont say I am. ;p & If you cannot help, thats fine. Just dont flip out. Tell me calmly. I donot mind. :'3 -thankss. BRAIN Of course you are begging, donation is an option not an obligation. Asking a person to donate is no different from obligating them to give so that is defined as begging. wink I advise you not to waste your time PMing people, it doesn't do much good for them besides sending unwanted PMs...and most especially doesn't do good much for you, because this leaves the impression you refuse to work hard and expect everything to be served on a platter - and that kind of attitude doesn't deserve respect. So avoid that negative assumption by doing what is respected, setup a quest thread and allow people to decide for themselves to help you or not. And just so you know I ain't flipping out or angry, I am kind enough to spend time to tell you what will help you instead of simply ignoring you.

I have ADHD and disappear at random, sorry if you feel ignored, that wasn't my intention.

	Wow, that is very considerate of you. I don't know many people who would actually take the time to reply kindly to that message, you gave some good advice as well. ~Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away~

	wow i can really tell that your a much more mature gaian than most. Specifically by the way you talk. I can tell that your in at LEAST your teens because of your vocabulary. Very nice Brain... i envy how nicely you reply to them lol.

	Yeah, you gave him some friendly advice, which is more than I would have done. Beggars make me twitch, especially when they go out of their way to say they aren't begging.

	That's a nice response. People even beg me for money and I don't have much. Tis crazy.

	I actually stopped being nice to them a long time ago, mostly because it doesn't seem to make a difference. I'm considerably more scathing whenever I get one now. confused

	Many gaians have no dignity, if it was real life and say you wanted a pair of expensive jeans, you don't just go around knocking on peoples doors and asking for handouts do you?

	I agree 100% on that reply you sent him or her. People do not earn respect if they beg. People who ask me to donate, I say.... That they should get a cash card and hoard items they know would be greater value as the years go on.
