I guarantee I was the elite of the elite when I played, and I didn't get there by being an asshole. I always shared and helped out when I could, ask anyone that played with me.
Moral of the story is, that little noob that you helped out the other day, will have something you need one day and chances are he won't forget you hooked him up.
"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic."- Benjamin Franklin
That's also how I've gotten so far in Diablo, when I actually played. Now, whenever I need a hookup from a long time friend, and my money arrived today, and i owe a guy some soul spurs or something, i can get a fresh fast hookup, cheap or free. The juice is worth the squeze.(sp)
I remember when I started D2, and I loved that there were people willing to help the n00bs like me. I love how Halo2 covers the n00b situation with assigning ranks to people so they (hopefully) only play people as good as them. And for when there is someone who has never played before, custom games!
