Oh the people you run into...

Just recently started playing again after some time off, and yesterday I was
working on getting a Sorc through nightmare. So I make a game titled
"HlpKill Diablo." After a minute or so a Paladin who was only a couple
levels higher than me came in, so i figured he just needed the quest done,
too.

So we set out, and by the time we reached Chaos he had already died once or
twice, and then I had to clear his body a few more times. Diablo wasn't
much of a problem; he kind of just stood there while I threw out static and
then Meteor.

The comedy show started in full effect after that, though when this dialog
took place:

(Diablo dies)
Him - I get items
Him - I get items
Him - I get items
Me - Um...ok, all junk. The ones I got are on ground by stash.
Him - I get items
Me - ...OK
(I go on to Act 5 and restock on pots and scrolls.)
Him - Hey
Me - ?
Him - Have you done your forge yet?
Me - No I'm going to come back and do it later
Him - Wait
Me - What?
Him - I should get it
Me - What?!
Him - I should get your forge
Me - Haha, right
Him - I should get your forge
Me - For what? "Helping" me kill one boss?
Him - I DID THIS FOR NOTHING?
Him - I DID THIS FOR NOTHING?
Him - I DID THIS FOR NOTHING?
Him - I should get your forge.
(at this point I used the one word I never, ever, ever use, the "N-word,"
but I think at this point it was justified)
Me - Sure thing newb.

But on a positive note, it's good to be back and almost all of the people
I've been playing with are A-OK. This guy was just too funny, I had to
share it with someone =)

Welcome back. You I have run into people like that before, even though
I seldom play on bnet. I play the chaos empire mod now so even if I go
online, the experience is normally much better.

The thing is, when people tell me "I just started playing" or "this is my
first character/certain char. class" I will almost always hook them up with
any gear I can, give them partial rushes/full rushes/WPs, or just help them
out with things like the ever needed friends-list tutorial. I try to have
the philosophy that whatever I do to help others in the short-term will help
me and everyone else in the long run.

It's not really greed or selfishness that motivates this, it's simple cause
and effect - if I help someone build their first MF sorc that means more
quality gear will be found, which means everyone benefits (they build better
characters, help others, on and on and on.) Although maybe they're just
building a lvl 99 sorc so they can hostile lvl 10's in Normal. It's hard to
say. But we'll keep fighting the good fight, contributing every spare Sigon
part we stumble across to this pleasant little social experiement we call a
game. =)

I once had a simerler expereince but the guy helped me rush a bit ferther i
think i was in a game called Quesing Act 1, nm of course. this guy jumped in
did not say bo the whole game untill we were standing nexted to the forge
waiting for me to hit it for him. when i didnt he started to get angry he
then went back to twon and hostiled me. all i could think is what a jerk if
he wanted me forge he had to ask before he did a rush not after. some people
are just funny ant times
