The 'Help' Command

Ok, so im on the nightmist site and then i go to the topic 'Ingame Commands' and right at the top is the 'help' command. As I look over the rest of the commands, i notice that they all have a / before them. I think that staff should change 'help' to '/help' because many of times i had been dueling/moshing and i go to someone and say 'help me pleez' and this silly text come up (There are many guides to choose from, type 'help X' where X is General, Equipment, Levels, Fighting, Clans, Quests, Bugs, Parties, Sysops, Triplex, Mosh, Commands, Emotes.) and i usually get killed or made fun of/taunted/harassed for running. This idea should be re-thought and then put into act. put the '/' before the 'help'
(yeah i know, where i said the part about 'help me pleez' where you can say, 'can you pleez help me, or pleez help me' but still, i would think they could change it)
P.S. I didn't know where to start this thread so i posted it here.

it's plain old 'help' because new people will typically type that without a / first.

I think what JLH is saying is that someone who is brand new to the game and doesn't know any commands whatsoever will not know about commands starting with /, hence that person will type help without / and to his big astonishment he will get the message older players may find annoying, henceforth knowing that ingame commands start with a /.

It might be useful to use a more dramatic help when crying for it then?
Repeat after me:
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!

JLH is right here, most of the games i play wont have any character before the word 'help', and yes, new players ALWAYS type 'help' before anything else
