Whenever I've donated to the Money Tree, I occasionally receive the odd guild invite, but that's about all. I haven't had any begging Neomails, but actually now that I think about it, the Money Tree is a way for such types to pinpoint usernames.

gak! which games do you play?

i've found that if i donate a ton of items at once to the tree, i get beggar neomails, prolly cuz all those items have my username under them and draw attention. so i never donate more than three items at a time now.

Play enough games, you can make 40k a day. One million neopoints in 25 days. If you don't take a break.

Blah, stupid beggars. I got a bunch of those neomails when I got my trophy in whack-a-staff member (my only one, I luff it so very very much :3 mwaha) so I just had to block neomails and neofriend requests... Don't encourage them by giving them things, just ignore them.

easier said than done ;) I think its more realistic to aim for 20k a day and reach 1mill in 3 months, with a break every other day or so.

i used to receive some beggar mails whenever i donate to the money tree but nowadays, i receive no beggar mails. could this be attributed to lesser influx of new players?

It's dependant on how much you donate. Donate large quantities or repeatedly and you'll be guaranteed emails.

Yep. An act of kindness, followed by many acts of rudeness from others.


That's Karma for ya.

Which every games i'm good at... heh, that 3k each game, x10 if i'm really in the mood to play games that day.
Then of course there are quests, item REs, prizes...

Alot of my begger mail does come from being on scoreboards... I'v been in first place before, as well as anywhere between 4-17...

I usually donate useless misc items I get from dailie or REs to the money tree in case anybody else could use it for anything :roflol:

So far, no neomails of the item asking thingy.

most of the beggar neomail i get is for the items i have in my galleries, and for posting on the neoboards. i've generally stopped going to the neoboards on my main account, but occassionally i drop in on the account that i made specially for adoptive pets. sometimes i have pets who have been turned painted because of the lab ray i have in that account, but by doing so, the beggar neomail has decreased.

I get them sometimes, and all I donate is poison jellys and useless low healing potions, etc. I put a message on my userlookup for any beggars that actually bother to read, that says (politely, I think) don't send me guild invites, begging neomails, and especially, neofriend requests from people I don't know - I get those more than anything. I assume I get noticed for donating, because I am not rich, I try not to draw attention to myself in any way, and I don't even have a painted pet except when my lab pet happens to be one :P I would never give them anything, why should I encourage laziness & rudeness in others? o_O
