I love seeing someone shout "Can anyone buff me?" I sometimes reply: "No, only a cleric of the appropriate level can." (^_^)
My cleric is my only male charater. (I am a girl) I find people don't expect a male cleric to be as sensitive to their needs. (although this view could be biased by other factors) Also allows me to tell off idiots who keep spamming me without seeming unladylike.
Another thing that sort of bugs me...Although I hate to say anything against drive by buffs, but often as I'm setting up a vendor on one of my alts someone will buff them in passing. Sometimes finding buffs hard to get when hunting I'm then faced with a dilemma: Go hunting or log out and save the buff for later, or continue setting up vendor and let the buff go to waste.
Too bad going into vendor mode doesn't freeze the buff timer like some other games have done. Then again that might be a good incentive to help clean up the vendor clutter. Rather than wander off topic too much with this sideline I think I'll adress this in a new post.

I want to try that out. I'm gonna make a male cleric (I'm a girl, too) and see if I get spammed less. Err... But that means I'm gonna have to transfer my nubular fem-cleric's items to him...
Oh well. The things I do to get a chance to yell at newbs, when in secrecy I have LOTS of experience under mah belt.
My new personal favorite are the people who are grinding in the same area you are and come to ask for a buff while you are engaged with mobs. I will give them a buff anyway, since I rarely refuse anyone, while I'm attacking. The fun one was last night, when an archer that was kiting an area beside me stopped for a buff, and then said,Why did your HP go down and back up?" My response - "Since you spoke proper English and said please, I switched into my safe set and gave you a higher buff."

Nice! Same with my Firmanent set, I don't wear the whole thing because it has no stats.
The best thing happened yesterday, I'd created a new character named 'South' and my friend's name was 'North' He was leveling with me. We walked by a lvl 100+ Guardian in forest of tides, and she sees our names and buffs us both, including the revive after death buff I thought that was so cool I'm totally going Guardian.
