This whole thread is about rep stealing, so if you don't mind having rep being stolen from, you don't have much need to post here

Let me ask this. If I were in Tormenta slugging it out with a Seabeard, what possible reason would you have to come and "defeat it?" What is wrong with all the OTHER Seabeards? Why mine?

Here is what goes through my mind when some guy does this to me:

• Too lazy to get the Seabeard next to mine.
• Too weak to get his own Seabeard.
• Too needy to play without being noticed, even for being a pratt.
• Too rude to say "Hi" or "Want to crew up?" or anything other than "Heal Me!"
• Might be unaware that it is just bad manners.
• Might be aware that it IS just bad manners but doesn't care.

Anyway, I usually just go elsewhere. Life is too short to deal with the ill-mannered.

And then there are people like Jason. Some people don't mind sharing reputation points. However, the majority of players don't like their rep being stolen ( Myself included ), and a lot of people ( Including some who don't like their rep being stolen ) tend to steal from players who want their rep in one piece thinking that said players don't mind. I've witnessed someone steal another person's rep, second person say stop, first person do it again, first person fight their own enemy, second person steal from first person, and first person say stop. The one thing that went through my mind was "Well, if you don't want your rep being stolen, why'd you steal from the second guy in the first place?"

Understand, that there are people who are generous and caring, while there are people who are the complete opposite.
