People run because they don\'t want to spend 10 minutes just to reach a destination, let alone do anything when they get there.
Also I see it as a kind of \'sign\' that you have at least a basic grasp of the game/controls. Random people seen walking around look, in my eyes at least, like newbies... like they don\'t actually know how to run in the first place.
People like that are best left alone unless they ask for help. Why? Because they should already have the sense to read the Player\'s Guide and know the controls.
It may sound mean, but really- we\'re not babysitters. I think if someone cannot help themselves, they are beyond help from anyone else. If they cannot take five minutes to read the website, we shouldn\'t be expected to take even longer explaining everything to them. And believe me, we would have to do that every day for every single newbie that happens by. Do you have any idea how degrading that is?
