Users who use other users for the sole purpose of getting gifts.

[HansGrulo66]

Im refering to users who purposely demand gifts from other players, pretending to be their friend in order to gain their trust, and once they recieve the gift from the other player, they never pay them back and later on decide to abandon them as a friend, pretty much just using them for the purpose of getting free games. Has this ever happened to anyone reading this? This has happened to me multiple times, i have an issue with being too nice to people and pretty much getting guilt tripped easily (they would often say ♥♥♥♥ in order to make me feel guilty for not spending money for them), however lately i have been much more strong against tactics like this, but im interested to hear other stories regarding this.

I give people like that one warning. Then they get the block button.

Good, keep thinking that way!

Gifts are meant to be given, not asked for.
Someone who starts asking for gifts, starts on the wrong foot for me.

They don't even get the warning from me. I've had a couple of people add me just to ask for games and simply blocked them straight away. I even had someone follow me into threads on the discussions boards and ask me in there :D

I actually give games away fairly often but never have I or would I buy somebody a game who added me just to ask for it. I offer, you don't ask.

lol i never give away anything.....poor people.

Or people who just want games for free, even if they have a ton of money. This is from experience.

Remove "friends" who ask for something as they are no friends. Problem solved.

IMHO, I don't know what is worse, the game beggars or the peeps who encourage them.

The problem is not only the beggars who are bold enough to demand a game from someone directly, I've lost count of the threads where these free loaders post some pathetic story and are told to pay for their own damn games just to have some random derp face say crap like: "Don't listen to the haters buddy, I'll gift you the game you want"

Wash - rinse - repeat - profit!....Holy expletives Batman! (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

The guilt tripping is a way they get what they want, they exploit kind people (who also be vulnerable to guilt tripping) just to get free games. Had this happen before with an old "friend", he always claimed his family was poor to the point they could only eat bread, and demanded gifts every few days and most of the time he got it!

That is why I only have people I know in real life on my friends list.

For the forums, I just report and move on. Don't even read them anymore.

This 100%...

Don't let the actions of a few low lifes get you down. There will always be creeps out there that try to take advantage of those around them. The anonymity of the web sometimes brings out the worst in people.
