Well, I help. But I have to admit there us a quest in Wow that has made me think twice. I don't recall the name but some guy got seriously pissed when I helped him out.
There is a rare spawn in Burning Steppes, near the Alter of Storms. Player was at 10-15% health, Mob was under 50%. I was running by and full health, figured it safe to help him out. Apparently for this quest the player needs to solo this mob... the player appeared in rough shape but he could have healed or LOH (Paliden or SK or?) And so he was fine... I interfered where I wasn't wanted...
I'll ask first from here on.
I always help people out if I'm at all unsure if they will survive the fight. I've made many friends that way actually. It never occured to me before reading this thread that someone might take offense from me helping them. Actually, if someone got angry at me for going out of my way to help them, I would probably put them on ignore and forget about them forever.
Btw, we are also considering rewarding vertical interdependence -- which is a fancy way of saying higher level players helping lower level players (and vice versa!) is important to us. This includes but is not limited to the Mentoring system and the post-launch Outposts.
Let's all sit around the campfire singing Kumbaya and roasting marshmallows.
Conflict is just as important as comraderie...
A lot of my most memorable moments were brought about by people training, ksing, pvp, and just general shenanigans.
Here's hoping for a return to the wild west times of MMOs.

Yes please, and thank you! When I think of a high fantasy setting, I imagine bad people doing bad things ... and getting away with it ... for now. Their evil deeds eventually catch up to them. The people doing the right things, for the right reasons, eventually band up together. The idea of having the FBI, Homeland Security, DoD, CIA, NSA, and ATF around every corner with wiretaps and swat vehicles feels ... sterile. More sandbox, less rails. A "perfect world" is indeed a "fantasy world" but it's not the fun kind.

I was level 5, failing miserably in my attempt to kill a yellow snake when a player who conned red to me (he probably could’ve oneshotted the snake judging by his gear) walked up, waited for me to die, then /laughed and walked away. I prayed for innoruuk to punish him soon.

When I went back to play on Agnarr recently, I was actually shocked and got pissed over how the game has changed into the WWW (Wild Wild West) atmosphere that I remembered from many years ago. I usually play a class thats more of a tank or healer / utility and these players would bring in there box armys or high dps / pets and camp whole zones and have the timers down and KS the crap out of you. I don't mine lines to get certain things, but if I just waited 3 hours for my turn at a mob because the people ahead of me are leaving, I am not gonna put up with someone butting in and taking my kills just so they could sell a item for profit verse actually needing a item for the character they are on.

Now that's how you RP in the DE newbie zone.
...are they a twink? Twinks can go rot under a dragon. ...said Vandraad...
and This is why a Social MMO's die a slow death.
Obviously if someone was a dickhole, you may not help them, but to let them die because their gear is too nice for their level ? seriously ??
I really hope I am not on your same server. I really don't wanna know people that are this shallow.
Maybe I got to lev 20 and decided to make a Necro instead of a Wizard and moved all my armor to my Lev 1 Necro and deleted the Wizard. Or since my Cleric can't wear the nice robe I won in a random roll, I gave it to my lev 3 Wizard....
Guess since I have a lev 20 robe, I won't be getting help from people like this...
Please use your forum name on your in game character so when you are dead, and need a ress, my Cleric can teabag your corpse and take screenshots, instead of ressing it.... that's being social, right? I don't put my balls on just anyone. ;p
