I would consider donating gold if I knew it was going to a new player who needs it.
Looking at this list of recipients, that is most certainly not the case.
No thanks, I'll keep my coin.
TBH I do believe I needed the money and was very precise with what I owned (and I still intend to donate back once I get some real cash myself), but Herk sure as fuck didn't need anything (not that I got anything against him, and he's charitable himself, gave me 90k or so if I recall), Theseus42 was probably not half as new as he claimed, Rage Guy I might believe in, the others I got no idea, Morpher should consider waiting a bit with giving gold until he can be somewhat sure the players ain't just faking...
OpenPalm, I can't disprove it, so I guess I gotta take your word for it, not that my opinion maters, I'm the beggar not the guy giving out cash.
