And that is roleplaying.
The Becoming is more about roleplaying than being able to go on a Scavenger Hunt about Thera.
Now, is it fair if someone gets help from OOC friends/same site buddies, etc? Of course not. I'm sure the Imms wouldn't look kindly if five minutes after some Spectre from Smug/Neosoft/Diku/whoever got his quest, his buddies all came to help him get the items.
That being said, anyone who roleplays well, and through in-character relations, convinces someone else to help them deserves all the assistance they receive. If you happen to convince another Lich/The Leader of Cabal XYZ/etc, more power to you.
In the case that I suspect you're talking about, the person in question is a stellar roleplayer, and is more than deserving of such help.
There is nothing unfair about a good roleplayer reaping the just benefits of that roleplaying from other characters in the game.
