Can you (the lot of you, not any one specific person) stop the bickering?
For crying out loud, who cares? You're both wrong, you're both right, whatever. Just shut up and stop polluting the thread.
I get tired of having to skip over tons of TL;DR just because someone needs to wave their e-peen about being right. Take it to PMs and be mad at each other there.
NOW BACK TO THE TOPIC AT HAND:
I have a farmer and will occasionally shout out for door sitters, just to pay it forward. I've had the same done for me. People not looking for a few million payment for a run, or demanding you forward any purple drops, just doing it for a little hand-up to people starting something. Hell, I shot some "newbie" 20 mil just so they could start IO'ing their build. I don't expect anyone to do that for me, and that's okay if someone else expects it.
I don't ever remember that happening on Live. I never did it for people and I don't think anyone did for me. I had friends who would PL new toons we wanted to try, but it was never just some rando broadcasting in a channel or over broadcast. Maybe because we had to pay a fee to play (time was, literally, money then) or maybe we've all gotten a little more soft since we're just happy to be back in the Ci-tay.
Either way, that guy/gal/other that sent OP the tells in-game can suck a butt. I love how they start with "CoH is the friendliest place ever!" and then pepper the whole exchange with "DO IT MY WAY OR YOU SUCK!" talk. People are walking contradictions.
