I generally play healer classes in online games, so I heal/buff anyone I cross paths with. And the weird thing is people seem surprised that a *gasp* healer is doing what they're ****ing supposed to do.
Your kindest moment in gaming?

I can give you a more specific story then.A short story though.Aylaine said:That's great! I love it when I see other people who help out too. It makes me feel good.
Okay.So I was at level 72,and had only around 400 gold to my name.I was saving up for flying.But was broke because of how little questing I had done.And how much spending I had done to try and increase my blacksmith skill.
So there was this guildie who wanted 300 gold for some reason.The reason is unimportant.Well he asked around the guild to see if anyone would loan him anything,but everyone declined loaning him anything.So I step up to give him the loan.
So he says that he is really grateful for it,and that he would pay me back 800 gold when he had it.So I get to the mailbox to send him the 300.But instead of loaning it to him,I decided to be a great person,and I have it to him.
He thanked me again and again.Oh how much he did thank me.I of course said that it was no problem,and that I had enough money to cover my own ass.Which was hardly the case.
Then,some 2 week later,I get something in the mailIn game.I never told anyone that I played with my address..And I see that it is from the guildie that I had given the 300 gold to.
Well what do you know.He felt so grateful that he sent me those 800 that he promised.I took it,and I went to the TaurenAlthough I played as a belf pala. starting area.And then I found some random newbie,and gave the 800 to him.He thanked me,and I went on my merry way.
Assisting an in-game friend in WoW, to gain 12 levels to reach 80. She was very thankful, though I quit WoW 2 days after, she reached 80, so I never got my reward. That makes it even more kind, though.
Edit: Wow. I Just read Aylaine's post. Reading her story, hurt more than any other bodyblow, or punch to the face.

Hehe, this brings me to (one of) my least kindest moments in gaming, where the rest of my team refused to give me a medkit despite my health being in the red.Sacman said:
Needless to say I took them all out one by one...
OT: I always choose the good option in RPGs, but I can't think of any specific examples.
I just hope that he/she took my action as a sort of a guiding light.Not that s/he should necessarily go and give newbies money.But more in the way that helping people is nice.And that it can make someone it something that they would never have become without help.Aylaine said:All it takes is 1 to change everything or change someone.RanD00M said:
On WoW in Hellfire peninsula I was levelling up a new druid and I got talking to some people and we started questing together, however after a while we noticed some alliance players were questing as well, we thought nothing of it and tried to continue questing but the alliance players decided to be awkward and start attacking us by turning on PvP and intentionally getting in the way of some of my party, after we started killing them back they decided to log their lvl 80's to constantly gank us. Ultimately neither me or the others could quest so we just returned to sitting around talking in Thrallmar, I felt sorry for the people I was in a party with because none of them had got an 80 and all of them were still getting used to playing so as soon as I noticed the alliance players were back on their alts I logged my prot warrior, ran into Honor Hold taunted all the quest giver mobs and dragged them back to General Krakork in Thrallmar and let him slowly kill them and kept repeating, thus giving the people in my party the chance to quest and lvl up.
Minor spoiler warning!
In Fallout 3: Point Lookout I played hide and seek with the kid you find in the mine and would've brought him back to Rivet City if the game had let me. I was also a Messiah by the time I hit level 30 so pretty much every other thing I did was good as well.
Not really sure if playing hide and seek with him was a good thing since I had a stealth level of 100 and the only way he could find me was if he physically bumped into me. But still he enjoyed it.

Well you could have had the stealth suit from Operation anchorage to make it that much worse.GBlair88 said:
I really liked F3 for the fact that for an offline game you did have genuine ability to be good or evil in your actions. Just like I was a total prick to the residents of tenpenny tower, but I still blew up Megaton. I was nice to the residents of Dave, but I absolutely destroyed Fawkes with the mini nuker.
Mine gotta be in Tf2. I met some new player on a server with around 6 people in total. I helped him learn everything about the game, while we did this the rest of the server joined in. The new guy invited a friend into the match and after awhile there was this tutorial on everything tf2 from what classes to use when, what weapons to use when and tactics of all kinds. The tutorial went for hours. We all had a great time. We added each other to steam and I continued helping him whatever he needed it. He's a decent player now and he got good really fast with the help I gave me.
I was playing Rainbow Six Vegas 2 and an enemy spawned right in front of me, and instead of just pulling the trigger and shotgunning him down on the spot, I ran backwards out the door I came in to give him a fair shot at fighting back. Then I got killed by a different enemy and the two of them started trashtalking me. Hurray kindness.
Letting a very inexperienced friend win a few rounds in 007 Agent Under Fire to give him a chance to get used to the controls.
I'm usually unrelenting but when I'm facing new players in a game, I give them a brief respite.

Being a Holy Pally in WoW, I soooo understand where you are coming from.AwesomeNinjaPowers said:
While I have pretty much given up on most of the WoW player base (Chances of finding someone that actually wants to better them self is next to non-existent). I have found myself filling out support rolls in Alien Swarm
