Chatting with New Players

[combatlizzy]

I try alot to aid new players when I am able. But the problem is communication...Talking in open chat doesn't work alot...friending new pirates and speaking in whisper is difficult...even crew chat doesn't work much. It's frustrating to try to help another pirate when you don't really know what they need to accomplish. Sometimes they even think you are being rude with no response even though you are trying your best to chat with them. Yesterday I just followed 2 new pirates around and healed them on their quest because I couldn't get them to tell me exactly what they needed. It's frustrating on both sides...you want to help and they need help...Has anyone else experienced this situation? If you have please inform this pirate in a better way of exchanging information...it would help immensely in my attempts to aid others in need. Ahoy Mateys and Pirate On!!!
