Comment: Rudeness & Greed

In Athena Shy's armsMember
I am so sick of you greedy players who will take from a giveaway just because you can & then have the gall to drop it on the floor like it's garbage. now not only can't the needy players get one, the items weren't dropped on the provided donation tables so they can be re added to the prize machines. These prizes were no surprize, they were clearly visible in glass for all to see and the holla that brought you there said the item. It makes me sick to see such rudeness and even more so knowing nothing will or can be done about other than YOU GROWING UP and stop the selfishness & GREED.
EDIT*
I know some of you will say that kids will be kids and it is because they weren't brought up properly. These are both true and the reason I stated "nothing will or can be done about other than YOU GROWING UP and stop the selfishness & GREED.".
How is anyone to know they have done wrong, unless they have been told so? I think I have been forward and non hurtful in my "comment" on this. Please don't defend them, but instead help all of us educate and make aware that this is wrong even though this is just another MMO. We can bring MMO to a whole new level if we all try to be positive and teach right from wrong.
BTW, most of these "kids" don't even have a forum account or read here.

Greed is going to exist on any game (especially and with currency and give-outs for players to make a quick buck)
"Free" is pretty much and entitlement to "anyone."
Oh no, someone dropped their hat?
Well you have another hat to throw back into a prize dispenser.
Not the owner and can't pick it up? I mean that's not your fault.
When someone makes a hollawarp including the words "Giveaway" and "free" I mean... greedy people are gonna jump at the chance.
Technically everyone can entitle to it... Because It's *free*, and like you said
"they're greedy". Why wouldn't they show up? lol
---
People are seriously expecting too much out of selflessness.
Not everyone's got this "proper upbringing"
Kids CAN be brats.
---> Adults CAN even still be brats.
Now is that the parent's fault? Possibly. But what's the point of delving into non-game related things? Lol
I'm not saying people can't be mad at about it... but at the end of the day there's really nothing you can do, the Greed-factor is always going to exist unfortunately.
It is not okay for a player that doesn't need something to come to an event intended to help those players in need, take those items then throw them on the ground like trash to disappear. When you drop an item it disappears forever. Someone that needed that will not get it now.
Not only is it disrespectful to the one that is hosting that event, but it is discourteous to the players in need, the ones the event was intended to help.
There is nothing wrong with making a comment about that.
Saying players are greedy isn't small minded, it's the truth, and it hurts, just like when they came to my realm and took items they didn't need, then dropped them on the floor like garbage. That hurt.
The reason this post was made was to teach players that do this, how upsetting it is.
You say kids will be kids like they don't know right from wrong, well how will they know it is wrong unless we tell them.
And... @Athena Shy You are so right!! You're entire message. We can't control how a child is taught or what they learn. But in here we can raise our voices to teach them better, and we should!! Good comment.... You have my respect as well as TimMan does now
They are free, as the title say, so why not respecting it? People can't spawn them from the sky! They are kind enough to make them free-to-grab, so what's the reason to reject it?
You might not need one of those things, but just think for the other. You don't need a stone hammer, then give it to another person!
If anyone is giving free items/cubits to everyone (Like me everyday in my parkours), you'll probably understand the feeling when someone rejects your item(s). And, it's getting bad everyday as more valuable things are more expensive, and less valuable things become cheaper...
Not to mention: They add these words after throwing it/them out. (WARNING! Heavy words ahead - Do NOT click if you don't want to see)
Noob parkour/maze/realm -> Idk why the prizes are related to this
Trash item
Junk
Noob owner (Seriously?)
Maybe I'm not as rich as the mods (Hinter - for example - always gives hat packs). But I'm not that rude and poor to put fern/mushrooms/flowers! So why rejecting it? And even if It was them, just accepting it. Put it to storage or display it. Every items has its own uses. Nothing is useless, to be honest...
I know that most of the players don't exist in forums, but I also know that some here are greedy people who do/did refuse free items. Stop doing it, or you'll never escape the realm of greediness!
Finally, bookmarked this thread!
Kids that do this will never read this..
I'f you want this to change show them how in game nicely..
Also greed is everywhere so probably best to get used to it being around.. thanks
(Some probably don't realize CC has a forum)
And if it's being dependent on us as fellow dedicated players;
I'm sorry but I really don't want to have to play "parent" on here. It's one thing to state common sense and info where it's needed and necessary to support fellow players new/old.
But I can't see making it an endless priority.
I deal with giveaway events and if some players are "greedy" enough to take the item, but then selfless enough to drop the *said* item instead of taking it with them, then it's saved for another day for another player. That's really the way I see it.
---> If anything make a point to encourage new players (or even dedicated players) to sign up for the forums. :P
Just because some of those players don't have a forums account doesn't mean that they ALL don't. I am sure many of them do. What else am I suppose to do, Holla system isn't for venting my frustration and I can't go to everyone's realm. The forums, this section is for suggestions and comments, to voice your input.
I do giveaway every day, I help players everyday. I spend 90% of my time helping and giving, so yes I do get upset when some players act greedy and disrespectful. It isn't a walk in the park to overview 50 players during a giveaway making sure they didn't take a hat then throw it on the floor when I am trying to watch for alternate account, talk to players and assist someone when they have a question.
With everything I do, I should have the right to come and vent a little about things that bother me here.
I hope that cleared it up, thank you for your input and have a good night :)
_______________________________________ More than anything, I am not upset that high level people take stuff intended for newer players. Some are very polite and ask if they can, which I always say yes, even if they are level 30, they might need a chest, you never know xD
I just get upset when someone takes a cash register then drops it :(
I am just like
___________________________________________________________________
I am interested to work TOGETHER to find a solution to reaching out to those players in a way to teach them in game about this issue. We can't go realm to realm telling player this xD but we are all very smart so I am sure we can brain storm on this subject :P
Despite our different opinions, we all have one thing in common! We LOVE this game and want it to be enjoyable :)
