#27REDACTED,
Posted: Sep 09 2008 at 5:32 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Thank you Nostraaa. Thats the only answer that really mattered. I understand getting flamed for asking a stupid question, and I understand that it does take a lot to lvl chanting. Most of the time when people do ask me to open boxes I do, wether I get a tip or not. What I was trying to understand was whenever I go anywhere for any type of chant the enchanter always says, Your mats plus a 20-30g tip. I do my dailies. I don't have my epic flyer, but The gold is not what bothers me. Its the fact that people will ask for a service then not tip that bothers me. Guildies and friends I have no problem with because they would do the same for me. Its just when I'm sitting in Shatt or any major city and someone asks me to open their box I do it and then they just bounce without even a TY that bothers me. Even on my lowbie toons when I do get an enchant or other service I tip. Because it can really be a pain and every little bit helps. I guess what my original question should have been was why do people always expect a rogue to open their boxes without a tip? I know its free for us, but at the same time it can be a real pain when all you want to do is hit the AH and go about your way, when everyone whispers you or just opens trade expecting you'll do it.
I'll bet that never happens.
Tommy, I'm not going to try and Sub-Default you because you're an idiot, I'm going to try and Sub-Default you because you can't put together a coherent post.
Run-on sentences and wall of text should be a bannable offense, IMO.

This is what you do;
If they ask and they're not a friend/guildie you pretend to be afk or tell them your lock picking isn't high enough.

If someone on the street came up to you and asked "Could you tell me what time it is?" Would you say: "It's 2 o'clock" and hold out your hand for a tip because you spent some time in elementary school learning how to tell time, and you spent a few bucks on your watch, therefore you deserve something in return? It takes two clicks of the mouse and about 5 seconds worth of time to pick a lock for somebody - expecting a tip is stupid. I often refuse to accept a tip if I don't have to go anywhere. How about we just be courteous players and do something to help another person out (if they are polite about it)?

Why did you even roll a rogue, self-righteous hippy do-gooder.
I level my lockpicking along with my cooking and fishing and professions. It isn't hard really and I never even thought about tips for unlocking a box. Since I have a rogue, I've never asked anymore to do it. I think the price is low is because you don't really have to make an effort to level it, it's not a money sink like enchanting/engineering is at the beginning and you don't have to run instances over and over to get that pattern to drop.
Talking about tips, then mages and locks should also get tipped for port, teleporting, food, stones, summoning. But we don't. We don't ask either, cause it's just what we do. I've never been tipped once for any of those thing, although I will pay a mage to teleport me to Shatt for the first time.
Perhaps we pay enchanters because we perceive that the enchant is of a certain value to us and opening a locked box has very little value in comparison. Or the enchanters guild has a monopoly going and anyone who doens't cough up a tip, won't get an enchant.
Anyway those are my thoughts and humor on the matter.
