Little things matter.
HEALER'S LOG
20161109. Athiss.
It's a good group. The DPSers are tolerable
and the tank knows her stuff.
(Note: any reference I make to gender
applies to the avatar and not necessarily the real person. If you're a
Real Life Male, who plays a female character, then for my purposes,
you're female. It's your choice to exhibit gender
confusion, so deal with it).
We're cruising along at a decent clip.
The tank is lower than Level 65, which always piques my interest, so I
examine her gear. Two really low relics. So I craft her much better ones
while we fight. In under seven minutes, they're ready.
Right before
the boss fight (The Beast), I trade her. She refuses, says they'll be
obsolete soon. I remind her how much more obsolete her current ones are and
trade again. She refuses again. I tell her that they are not for her --
they're for me ... it makes my job as healer that much easier.
"We'll survive," is her response. She refuses me for the 3rd time and
initiates combat.
I heal the group through the fight. No one dies.
I pass on the loot and tell them how sorry I am that I cannot continue.
I wish them luck. I leave.
There are times when it's noble to refuse
a gift.
And times when it's foolish.
Know the difference.
