Now to explain why i charge. Take this how you will, but this is why i charge for genkai, Afs and Missions. When i was playing when i was level 50-60 i always heard shouts for "Coffer Keys", the n00b as i was, I didnt understand that meaning. Personally i thought getting af, was a Trial run through Ifrit Cauldron for zm5.
It's based on Team work killing lvl 65-70 mobs for a rarity drop for keys. Same with Genkai and missions. When i finally gotten my hat, I devoted myself to working for people to get their afs. Everyday, my Ls and I, spent hours killing Mobs, and getting keys. allances of 18s and only having 3-4 keys turn up. Soon enuff we did AF3 quests, killing those NM mobs for the final piece, and it was so joyest when one finally got the entire set. Unforuntaly, People from the ls left after getting the set. Trying to Put this behind we continued the cycle but more people kept leaving. Not only that, People quit their jobs to start new ones, and eventually wanted new sets.
This cycled continued for months at a time. People I worked so hard for left to make their own ls, or simply join others or completly starting over because they didnt like the fact of having 30k to exp for a lvl. I found this very annoying how i always got /ts to help, and i didnt want to get bitched out being told "I always help this ls, and never ask anything in return. Please i need this af" I never believed those ppl that told me that, sad to say. That is something i heard through /t to many times by to many people.
i started Taking up Genkai for profit at lvl 67, Only by friends, simply because they were tired of the hassle of putting teams together and getting riped off. Getting 20k for an hour so of work, unforutanly others sent /tells for my assistance, not knowing these people i only help because a "friend" said i would. Only getting 10-20k reward for 1-3 hours worth or work. When i started saying no, people gave me guilt trips "Ive been trying to get this paper for 3 weeks, please help me" or actually rasing the reward. I soon tested this out on Coffer mobs when i reached 75.
People asked for my help for keys a lot, and asked for the ls to help too, I always dreamt to solo coffer mobs for free keys for my ls. Unforntally, the habbit of getting a set of af and starting over was getting to be annoying. I found myself spending an entire day working for free keys, never able to do what i wanted too, because if i didnt do what was asked i would get the occtional /t "Man this ls never helps me, i'm sorry, but i'm going to find one that will" This always angered me, since the feeling of a leash around my neck grew tighter and shorter. I started taking /shouts in Jueno for Coffer keys and Mobs to make money, finally a decent reward with no attacments wether if they quit the game/job. Same with Missions.
Mission 5-2 is a battle with the shadow lord, something that you want to do with a bunch of lvl +60 friends. If one is only wanting simply for the rank, I will charge, because that is suppose to be a fun experince. If one thinks it's unfair to be charged, it should be re think instead of paying, but to do it the old fashion way. I never tell people they need me, but i only ask if they wish my assistance, I wish for a reward. I encourge them to ask others for a cheaper deal, but I can and will get the job done, but sadly to say only for a reward.
/bow thank you
