If I'm in an explicit power-play situation or planned scene -- where I have prior knowledge that, say, the other party enjoys meeting my every need or desire, at least in a role-playing sense -- then that would work. I could state my needs, and the other party gets a kick out of being useful/helpful/important to me, both walk away afterwards feeling happy and owing no future favors to each other.
But I can't assume that random others will get a kick out of helping me. And getting help otherwise means being a net burden and a liability to others, with constraints on my future behavior...
