Would it be possible to add something to the Player Guide asking higher level players, and I guess immortals, to leave ppl alone? Two days in a row ppl I don't know pestered me to tell them how they can help me. One tracked me down somehow (immortal skills?) and *came into the room I was exploring* to ask if I needed their help. It's intrusive and I hate it.

Isn't Pooks level 11 or 12? I'm not sure why higher levels would think someone at that level wants their help if they haven't asked for it.

But keep in mind, they're just trying to be nice.

It's creepy. How did that person know how to find me? And he (or she) said, "You haven't moved in a long time, so I wondered if there's something wrong." How did they know I hadn't moved? It feels like being monitored. I think I *was* being monitored. That's inappropriate. Powers like that should not be used in that way.

Hi Cammy,

I'm certain there were only good intentions.

I think there are some veteran high-levels whose gameplay is different to what Explorers are typically doing. So your style seems unintuitive to them. I'll reach out and talk with them.

Meanwhile if anyone is annoying you, even with well-meaning if off-target helpfulness, you can use the Avoid command to silence them.

Let me know if this happens again.

You actually can't Avoid administrators / immortals. I tested with you just now. Much as I wanted it to work...

Just when I thought I was getting to know the place...
