Yarrr, I'm a pirate, yeah, but I still give ISK, mods, and even ships to noobs frequently, and help with advice where I can. To many of us, 10M ISK is like lunch money; to new players, it can seem a fortune. As someone alluded to in an earlier post, a little love can go a long way to make the game special for newcomers. (Especially right after you blow them up in low sec, LOL!) Besides, I have gotten many gifts from my friends and corpmates in game. Only seems right to pay it forward. Good on ya, Griff...and nice chatting with you in Dodixie local.

Great post. I'm just barely 30 days or so into my time in New Eden and I've already had plenty of charitable help from older players. One player on a forum I frequent (though we didn't know one another at all) just out and gave me a few million ISK. And then there was the pirate who gate-camped me in my fully decked out new ship and when I talked with him about it, he sent me about 20 times what the damn thing was worth. And I've had a stranger or two fleet up with me to help me complete a few missions I was having a hard time with.
So yes, help. It's nice to do and gives me warm fuzzies. I'll return the favors. Pay it forward and all.

Originally by: Griff Philips You never know who is watching. I spent my time in eve helping when I could. Now that I've sold my characters and liquided my assets, Im wandering eve giving stuff to those whose helpfulness or generosity catch my attention. I have a little over 5 billion isk left to distribute. EVE has given me so much and after 3 years of playing I've had my fun and done everything I've wanted. I want to thank Ushra'Khan for the RP experience (you knew me as somebody else), Suddenly Ninjas for being so fantastic and it was awesome being there on the ground floor when this revolutionary core made salvaging not just viable but fun and famous!
See you out there, I hope I can help,
Griff Philips aka Helpful Sam
I love people like you. I played this game quite a while back, as a different toon and regularly used to sit in the help channel dispensing what advice I felt I was educated enough to give and providing noobs not only with isk, but also some sound advice on what to spend their isk on. Some people called me stupid for handing out billions of hard earned isk to strangers but I didnt care.
Now, almost two years later I have returned to the game I love. Id been back for a few weeks and having serious trouble re-aqauinting myself with all the "rules" and thus not making much isk (im a carebear). After chatting away with a few people in the EVE Radio channel, a very kind guy gave me a very substantial amount of isk to outfit myself and get back into the swing of things. Another kind person bought me my first new BS, a Typhoon, which I have since upgraded to a Maelstrom with alot of hard work.
Im still struggling to make isk, but I would not be where I am now without that help. I am convinced that if you do something nice for someone, eventually you will find yourself on the recieving end soon enough. I congratulate you for your efforts, this game and indeed the world, needs more people like you. 07

"Be good and help out sometimes" Hey, that's what i always think too :) Sometimes it seems like everybody only wish to annihilate others, so i sometime think to not be normal ;P So many times i've run out of money, my wallet is always low, 'couse i love to help friends and anyone that need help in any way, so i don't care about the fact that i cannot afford to buy/fly/use what i'd wish, 'couse i know that i made someone happy, and when someone say "thank you" and smile, well, it is the best think that i could see.
Well... nice to discover such a nice person like you and good luck in your search ;)

I think it's a wonderful idea.
Not too long ago, I was out and about setting up a new base of operations in Caldari space.
In local, a fellow was asking for help with a mission - and being ignored.
I sent him a message saying I'd be glad to lend him a hand.
Here's the poor fellow, still in a rookie ship, blasting away at an L1 named character and having a terrible time. I went in and tanked for him, letting him do most of the killing and finished off the real tough ones for him. Assault ships are a bit overkill in L1 missions.
I let him grab the loot and salvaged the wrecks, splitting the salvage with him and then invited him onto an L1 I was running (building up standing dontcha know).
He went on his way with some advice and some ISK that he full well helped earn. I may never see him again, but maybe, just maybe, I made his first few days in EVE a little bit better. That's reward enough for me.
After all - I play Gallente for a reason!
So give the new folks a hand and don't ride them for being a bit ignorant. Once upon a time, we all were.
May God stand between you and harm in all the Empty places you must walk

If you want to give it to someone who helps out, give it to Chribba. Too bad he doesn't need it.

There is no self interest. That was the point. Not everyone is out there for themself.

About 6 years ago, I offered to let a very new player accompany me on a level 4 mission in my battleship. Things got out of hand and I was about to go down hard and I had a frigate scrambling me (my heavies were too far off to get to it in time), and I told the new guy to bug out to avoid getting wasted as soon as the NPCs blew me up.
Instead, he stayed and at the very last second took out the single frigate scrambling me, allowing me to warp out at 13% structure. I like to think that just once Karma smiled upon me. ---------------- Play EVE: Downtime Madness v0.83 (Updated 7/3) |

sometimes, when we are camping gates and some noob comes threw, completely unaware of what hes doing, and he gets popped i often convo him and talk to him a bit. sometimes i give them isk to cover what they lost (when i can/have isk to do so)
last one i did this to was bunny guts. was just trying to get to 0.0 to mine, and we popped and podded her/him. so i added that person to my addy book and a day later he/she logged on. after talking to him/her and figuring that hes not an alt i decided to give him some isk to cover his loss and get him started.
ive done this too many times to count, and kick myself at times.
another guy i did this to, we killed his maelstrom that had artillery/beams and i felt SOOO bad, and talking to him and hearing about how him and his wife play (he travels?) to spend time together i kinda melted and gave the dude some 250m, now this dude is RICH. and i have 2mil in me wallet lol.

I don't expect or even want to be paid for either.
Note: you never know who'll you'll run into a few months or years later that will remember you as that guy that help out a noob.

Been playing over a year. Given countless isk to noobies.
When Suddenly Ninjas first started I liked the promos in the forums and the idea so much I donated 20mil to their efforts before joining them.
Ya, been 'paying forward' for quite some time. ONCE and only once did I ever receive some return love in the form of a couple corpies donating isk to repair my damaged ship after a 1v1.

I am only leaving because I I have reached a transitionary point in my life and EVE no longer fits into my life very well. Thank you EVE and all you pilots for the great experience. Pirates, carebears, anti-pirates, ninjas, everyone, you all made EVE what it is. I've been able to do everything I wanted, piracy, role playing, carebear, ninja salvager and everything else I did. Thank you all for 3.5 years of fantastic fun in space. CCP great job. Good-bye EVE.

It's nice to see someone doing this. I'm not totally new, but if it hadn't been for some really decent sorts giving me advice when I first started (and after I finished the tutorials and was asking.. now what?) I probably would not have gone down the path I have in this game.

GL in the future and yes, helping out is a nice thing. It can often involve time, not just dumping ISK in their lap. Helping a noob with a mission or just fleeting them while you pull aggro, then let them loot and slavage. 3 hrs of game time can really give a low level player an insight and a goal. |

Help is really great! Remembering about two and half years ago, when everything in eve seemed so confusing and out of order, those helps/advices/isk's I received...
Now days, as a experienced pilot, I start to help other people out. Sometimes I would just spend an entire day in newbie system and help out people...What I found out is--most new players need advice and answers to questions more than isk. isk can definitely help you out a while, but advices stays with you forever.
But there are also times I get bored and go hi-sec ganking those mining barges...
Just remember, it is up to us the oldie's to make the new players know what EVE is like. Who knows, maybe you help out one newbie and later in game they help out 100 newbies.
