And back on topic - I'd ask what they wanted and refer them here. I'd tell them to experiment a few days and then try asking me a few specific questions. If they ask for resources, I try to tell them about the better vendors I know or refer them to the artisan boards to find out about mining and the scout boards to find out about getting hides. As cheesy as it sounds, I try to enable without spoiling. I'll offer advice and tell them where to find information, but I won't just say use xxx resource, experiemnt xxx, etc... My answers usually are more pointed versions of their questions that give them hints as to what they should do. The system is pretty easy to pick up if you experiment for a day or two, so most fo the time, I'll get a few tells with nice specific questions after that, but no more blanket 'tell me how 2 make ur ubber(sic) Rmor.' Actually, I would nto even respond to a tell like that The one you got was basically the limit of what I would respond to. If, after referring them to the boards and asking them more specific questions, they are still being obtuse, I might recommend a specific thread or two, but if you just tell them how to do everything, they'll never figure ti out on their own.

when people ask me if I'm an armorsmith I usually tell them no.

I try to explain as much as I can.

When the game was fairly new, I set up an ftp server so a buddy of mine on deployment could get the game. I know I spent a few hours telling him how to do a lot of stuff. Ever try typing explainations of things like how to expand the top bar to 2 rows?

The only thing that really annoys me, is asking for my good resources.

kracivi gorod!

/Agreed. I'd be willing to help unless they started asking for my stuff. That, I will not do.

Yeah, the asking for your resources is just sad and rude. People unwilling to put the time in, but asking me to give them stuff I had to work my tush off to acquire really tick me off
