So today has been a bit weird. Its a small story i wanted to share with you guys...the people of PL.
So recently ive gotten the notion that im playing for loot/gold, and forgetting about actually playing. Its almost sad to see how many people do the same. Greed has become our favorite word, and most of us dont even know it...
I met this guy, hes a lvl 45 bear, i wont say the name. For the last 2 weeks all hes been doing is farm AO2-4 looking for a Zuraz Shock Lance without any luck. He logs in, makes a game, and invites. Im lucky to be in his friends list, so i get invites. He likes to clear the map, so i really enjoying playing with him.
This whole time ive been farming with him, I had a Zuraz Shock Lance in my stash just rotting away,since i dont like my bear. I never said anything, because he liked farming for one.
Today was different though. After a couple runs of AO2-4, I went to my stash, took my Lance, joined his game, and gave it to him. He was happy. He offered me money, and i said no. He offered me loot and i said no. He eventually offered his old lance (Conq) and i took it.
So he finally had a Zuraz Shock Lance...what now?
We cleared to boss, killed boss, and he said...remaking.
That got to me. Someone who actually plays the game how it was meant to be played.
Most of us play this game to be kings of loot, or rich. I was one for a while, until today.
I see people farming that "uber-rare" helm like crazy. To the point of scaring away low levels...which pisses me off since its a public room.
Maybe this story was useless. Or maybe im just too stupid. All I know is that I will now enjoy this game more. Not worrying about money or loot. Who needs it. My toons have ok gear, and i sure as hell dont need more gear taking up my stash slots.
Lets just enjoy the game how the devs want us to enjoy it.
