    If they ask like that, then they guaranteed have multiple lvl 250 chars with a sub-5min dojo time lol.

    In fact, I don't think I've ever seen a legit newbie ask me for mesos specifically. The real ones ask for gear or pot or noodez, which I'm happy to provide, as long as I have spares at the time. So I just mess with the ones that ask for mesos.

    I usually just explain that if they need Mesos they should claim their free Puffram pet from Tot's guide and let it loot mesos for them. It's not that I don't want to give people mesos, it's just that this game is already easy enough as far as early-game funding goes.
    It's not like pre-bb where people had only a fraction of the HP/MP we have now and pots were 10x more expensive.

    >:)

    I started out fresh on a server with 0 characters on it. I made 1 million mesos before level 40 just by doing quests and grinding. Steady income of mesos up until level 100. So If I can make mesos with only 1 character and get it to 100 completely unfunded, anyone can do it. Even the level 10 nublings.

    It was harder to make mesos before BB though, I seen this a lot in Henesys Hunting Grounds lol

    I remember one time long long ago back when Scania was the only server, a couple of my friends and I were hanging out near Orbis port and some players got dropped off. Most went along their way, but one lower leveled character said "meso plz" and one of my friends was a very generous person and gave him some meso and some equipment, despite my warning not to be so generous to someone like that. After he got the meso and equipment, his response was "more". Not even so much as a "Thank you". Whenever someone has attempted a trade with me, I use to just see what they wanted, but at a later point in time I just completely ignore them. If you want to ask me something, ask me, but don't do it in trade and don't try selling me something I didn't ask for.

    That's why I don't give randoms anything (also now I play on Reboot so I can't even if I wanted) in games in general except for advice on how to get geared up themselves. And if they say like "Shut up just gimme stuff" or anything along the lines then I can only think I'm glad I didn't give them anything.

    Depends, if they ask nicely I'll give them what I have on hand since I do storage drops often. But if they can't speak with full words I toss them 100 mesos and leave.
    but most often I'll give them something of equipment if I have soemthing left over. I gave a powerfully potted staff to one mage that was having issues with some ironhogs. He renamed his macro attack "AllHailJack' when I was on my JackDesert character. I miss that sort of gratitude.

    If they trade request randomly I generally decline and walk off.

    If they ask me directly and nicely, I generally give advice. Very rarely will I give items/mesos because most of the time people will depend on others if they get things free from others. I believe in the words: "give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime".

    I would accept the trade and quickly type in "NO," but not send it in. As soon he says something , I send in my message. (I prepare the word "No" beforehand)

    Sometimes I send in : "No mesos for you," as soon as the trade window is open before he starts chatting. Soon after, I would close the trade.

    I've been burned too many times for my generosity in games with repeat offenders, their friends or randoms being like Hey I was told you're the one to come to for free stuff gimme pl0x. They can get mad if I say no to them and I'm like come on guy, I did it out of the goodness of my heart, not because it's my job to give out freebies. Now I'll just give people advice on how/where to farm efficiently and maybe help them grind if playing support instead of just handing them whatever. I'll give good friends handouts though. Don't mind helping a buddy :D
