Decreased Tolerance Has Runescape lost its generosity?

Have you ever had a low level player come up to you? Have they ever told you that they had recently died, and wanted but a mere 2-3 hundred GP, or maybe even just a spare weapon of iron or steel. A while back, that person would often answer, kindly, "Sure. I'm glad to help people in need " But today, it seems that people have a low tolerance to that, or anything. The population of Runescape, in a sense, is getting... "meaner".
The point is, this isn't just for small demands from low-leveled players, it's everything! If a player says "Can someone please spare a law rune? I'm out...", then a kind answer would be, "Sure, no problem!" I myself have asked this question a few times, but often only to come up with either silence or a snicker of "Get ur own n00b." When it comes to making deals, it seems that no one is ready to maybe give a small discount because a player can't afford it. If I wanted to by Mithril Legs and they cost 2k, and I said I only have 1.6, I would bet anything the seller would just tell me, "Well, that's too bad. Bye." In my opinion, it's an outrage!
Tell me what you think about my observations. The population of Runescape can do a lot better than this. Trust me, I know they can. So... what do you think?

Most of the time they flood you with trades and offer junk for weapons, if you don't give them anything they will learn how to make money for themselves or quit.

Back when i was just starting, I know I did things like that. I tried to trade people 30gp (a great deal ) for a santa hat, on several occasions. I was so proud of myself when i got my first 2k coins, and i would go around asking for free stuff. And people would sometimes scornfully ignor me, and sometimes they'd take me in and let me have some stuff.
I think that when you are new to runescape, you don't necessarily know the proper "edicate" yet. Like, you negotiate a deal with someone before trying to trade, and things like that. Like what "n00b" means, what the heck an "addy kite" is. blah, stuff like that.
My point is, don't look at it like "OMFGZ0RZ DIS N00B I5 LI3K S00 STUPID 4ND 4NN0YING!!" look at it as "gosh, s/he just hasn't been on runescape much, and doesn't know better.
For things like asking for iron swords, or a few gp, I freely give out these things. For me an iron longsword is 3 minutes. For some people, it's a life's dream.
Just be kind, and remember that you used to be like that.

However it does seem that now that RS2 has come out, more people ARE getting greedier and greedier. For example:
A new person asks for help and I say "Sure - what kind of help do you need?" and then when they state their problem I'll help them if I can and then all of a sudden everyone else around me suddenly goes "Ooh ooh give me free stuff too" even if I heard them a minute ago going "Look at me everyone - I have 400k."
People seem to be just looking out for themselves and wanting their own. Peoples treatment of others seems harsher now. They use foul language whenever people ask them something and no one seems to be nice anymore. And also some people I seem to help get greedy and ask for even more stuff - pushing the limits.
If only RS could go back to the way it was - a nicer game with a nicer community.
