Cross Faction Comraderie
by Santyn on Nov.28, 2008, under Hunter
I had a wonderful experience the other day while questing in Dragonblight. It involved a Elite spawned from a 3-man quest, a Horde Hunter, and me.
The quest was Wanton Warlord, and involves killing Grom’thar the Thunderbringer, a 74 Elite with 123k health. Being the cocky hunter that I am, I decided to see if I could solo him. When I got to the spawn area, he was already engaged, so I promptly jumped on him too to help out.
Turns out a Blood Elf Hunter was attempting to solo him. Needless to say, with the both of us on him, he was dead in no time. The Hordie hit me with a /thank and I cordially sent a /bow back.
Then the unexpected happened. While I was prepping for my turn at the fight, the Blood Elf sat down and started drinking. Once ready, I summoned the mob and sent in the Gorilladin. And so did the Hordie. He stayed around for the explicit purpose of helping me out. It was great.
Now I don’t if he helped me simply because I helped him, or if he saw some sort of cross faction comraderie in another Hunter. All I know is that it was awesome. I have run into some real ass-hats in the game, but it is guys like this that help me remember that the world is not full of them.
Moral of the story? Karma. Help people out. No matter what faction. If you are questing in the same area as other people, group up instead of competing. Wait your turn for quest spawns. Help other players out when they are trying to down an elite. Buff anyone you come across. Cause you never know when you will need help.
