LOL, thanks for the memory Red. I've actually got the coffee-mug stained sheets still! Hail EP.
I think your mentor is banking on the lack of knowledge about items value. So if you were to loot something tasty, u'd never know.
I used to enjoy mentoring, but at some point (don't remember exactly when) people became more interested in the money they could get out of me. I strongly believe in wise words and little assistance. That builds a strong person. Handouts and running every single TP just breads morons. Knowledge seems to be undervalued, now it's 'Yeah but wheres my peds' - 'my peds' jeez there mine!!! That was too much for me, after about three more of these ppl I stopped mentoring. Personally I blame the mentor gifts, noob seems to know all to well about mentor gift and approachs from the angle that they are paying you the gift, so what are you gonna pay them to get it! For the guy that I got through despite the attitude, I was 'awarded' for many hours of chat and assistance - a zero ped FreanD Alpha ME
I'm happy to help - say a manual cleaning task, but I won't accept someone trying to pay me below minimum wage,
instead of respect.
I've noticed a shift from exploration to loot gratification. When I was new, an exciting session would be climbing to the top of a mountain and exploring - seeing my first spid and not getting wasted - finding out which pools of gunk would hurt me. So, Pinky make sure you do some exploring! Or else do something that is fun and don't involve peds.
Sry for the rant - I love this idea Pinky!
