how to handle with beggars

[pauk]

Everyone knows them, those irritating beggars.
Your buying everything on AH on your main, then some random will spam you if they could have 1C for their mount.
But even on your bank alt you get whispered for money. Last week I was asked for 100g by a lvl 40. BAM! Welcome to the ignore list.

You have four different tactics to screw around with them;

1. Give them something to do for you, which you can make money on
(Not much, but you get something ). Ask what their professions are, if they have mining and he wants 5g, tell him to make you 4-5 stacks of copper ore(1g a stack) you trade him and after that you say he could've gotten double for those bars. Then put him in your ignore list so he wont spam you.

2. Let them search for a non-existing item, most beggars are noobs and don't know wowhead even exists, so let them search for a Pristine boar tusk that drops from the boar's outside ogrimmar. Say to them you know it for sure when they ask if you are sure it drops from them.

3. Trade the beggar but never never never press accept.
Now you have 2 options:

1:Say you have lag and trade again and press cancel, than say you have lag and do again etc. etc.

2:Make a cup of tea bake a bread and go shopping, and look if he is still spamming you when you come back. (My personal record of letting a beggar spam me is 35 minutes)

4. This one is very common and has been posted before, but hey some people might not know it. Only works good as hunter in orgrimmar. Go with the beggar to the cenarion circle npc at the Flight Point Tower(He must be in your party). Go to your Rep screen and put "At War" with Cenarion Circle. Then put misdirection on the beggar (Make sure he is in range of the npc) and then shoot 3 arrows at the npc. And watch the beggar die (mostly they get it after 2 deaths)

ok so i read this one on some dutch forum and i found it very funny, what you do is pretending like you know him and in one way irritate him with it
exapmle which i got from that site
can i hav 5g for weapon pls?
/w Dave?
can I?
/w Dave!?
yes it's me dave, can i have some gold pls?
/w Dave, long time no see! How's life m8 ?
Fine, fine I need some gold for a weapon can you give me?
/w Last thing i heard you had a serious illness, are you sure you are Dave?
Sorry i'm not Dave
/w Why would you lie to me?
/w After all I never met you and you are pretending to be my best friend Dave!
/w 1 copper compensation for my time pls!


6. (Good while being spammed while doing a group quest as/with a lock) Say to him that he will get his 5g, and that you will summon him. Another lvl 5 in the bone wastes is pretty fun =D

6. send them to someone else, this realy works if that person also sends to somebody else etc. than theyll be whispering all around
if anyone knows more let me know

i translated this guide myself and this is not jsut a copy paste
sorry for bad grammar-spelling-translation
hope you like my contribution to the site XD

hey ye i know how irritating they are.. i mostly dont even answer however i heard of a fun way to get rid of both beggars as gold-buy-spammers.

It is the way I heard of a friend I am.

first: be a warlock
second: go to a place with many of these shitheads (no offence) (mostlikely ogrimar or stormwind)
third: summon a nice demon and let him loose
fourth: let aggro do the work!

i heard and saw on his computers that beggars were a bit familiar with him and logged out asap

cya

I usually put all my gold in the trade window, and count down 1 at a time to the number they want untill they get bored and leave. And if its a hunter I ask them if I can try somthing first and duel them and killz thier pet!

[Palle]

I just usualy play copycat untill they get mad and stop whispering me, like this

Beggar: Hi can have 5g
Me: Hi can have 5g
Beggar: Wat?
Me: Wat?
Beggar: can have 5g plese?
Me: can have 5g plese?
and so on, you get the idea

[Cosucj]

Funny Palle.

[luxxenator]

once i asked a beggar after going on my nerves how deep he can swim down the ocean and if he beats my record he gets 100 gold... he died :~)

[Minni]

the most sucessful way of stopping beggers for me have been

/r no you cannot.

[Nixan]

Beggar: Hi can I have 5g?
Me: What for?
Beggar: I need to buy my mount.
Me: I need to buy my flying epic mount, can I have 5000g?
Beggar: But I really need it!
Me: Me to!

after that they always stop whispering me.

I edited it to normal english now.

Some more ways to deal with a beggar:
1st : choose a random person and tell him to go ask him for money cause he got a lot and he will surely give him.
2nd (and thats the one i love doing):tell the beggar somethin like this :
Beggar:Hi can i have 2g?
Metalhearto i look like a church to you?Do i look like a damn priest?Go and ask at a church for gold....yeah go find a priest...a holy one or maybe a holy pala.Those are the lightbringers and love to help ppl.

funny incident was when i told that to a person(was standing outside ah) and he turns and tells a pala "hey mate this guy here told me u will give me gold" and then the paladin turns and tells to me "dont copy my way to get rid of beggars" xD
