I think people should learn to treat clerics with respect.

Put a level cap on the CP gate and problem solved. Wish they truly did... As for cleric respect, everyone's got a job (class job). Whoever isn't doing their job, in a party, shouldn't get any respect or xp...

True, when you party with someone, everyone in that party should all work together. However, I think what the OP's problem with is with people outside of your party harrassing you.
I know with Lady-Loki, people are always asking for a rez or a heal or a buff. Here's the thing, Loki will rez people who need it, she is just nice that way. Loki will heal people who need it, she is just nice that way. She cannot buff yet, but when she does get there, I am pretty sure that she will be one of those that buffs random people, she is just nice like that. However, people need to have a little respect for clerics not in your party.
We were in AEW the other day and this lone person who was farming shrooms while we took down al lthe mobs, pulled a trumpy and was killed. Even though he was farming the shrooms we were trying to get to, Loki rezzed him anyways. He immediately went back to farming our shrooms. The next time he was killed, I told Loki not to rez him. Don't steal the shrooms that we are working hard to get to and then ask for a rez just to go back to stealing our shrooms. Respect that cleric enough to go somewhere else to farm shrooms.

I don't really see a problem with asking for buffs. I mean it just nice to have so ppl will ask. It is just a quick sec to give. rest and give again. It's not really a workout.

The problem is that people will run up to you in the middle of a battle and it's Buff pls! Buff pls! Buff pls! Buff pls! Not to mention it IS using up SP and although they can just shroom up again to get it back, what if they only have ten minutes to play, they will spend all of their time in a shroom because of Buff pls! Buff pls! Buff pls! Buff pls!
The only times I ever ask for a buff, I also offer to give them a SP pot T2 for their time.

Wow, who would do that....I only ask for buffs in town. When im in AEW people buff my whole party without asking to. We all say thanks and go on our merry ways.

I'm afraid to see how those noob kids will do when they learn how to train o_O. We'll probably get trained randomly becasue some kids wanna have fun...

Being a cleric myself (my main) I see and understand both sides of this issue. I hate it when people expect me to heal/buff/rez. I have no problems with someone asking. But if I'm busy or don't get to it right away don't get all pissy about it. I had one party in AEW start totally flaming me because they (none of them tanks) started aggroing several trumpies and not really ever using pots/stones and then blaming me for being a noob/lousy healer. Even though I told them to only take one at a time because I couldn't heal all of them at once and keep them all alive if they take on several. I am getting very close to level 47 and plan on buffing anyone who asks nicely. Even if it's "buff plz" that's fine cuz they did say plz. I just hate it when they simply expect it and expect it right now.

no shiz, god, that's also one of my reasons of people being rude(forgot to add on it) that made me quit D:

some ppl spam heal, you healed him, he walks off like you are suppose to do it
