The Epic Gift

One day I was in a raid group for [For the Alliance], we met at Ratchet and were awaiting the go-ahead to start the raid on Orgrimmar, and the raid leader asked if everyone had their epic mounts. As a joke I said, "No I'm 700g from getting mine," and he replied by saying, "No, your epic land mounts not your flying mount." I then said, "Oh yea that I have lol."

Then someone from the raid said to everyone, "Maybe we should all chip in to help. 700g isn't that much." I was sitting there kind of stunned. I sent him a whisper saying, "Thanks! You're the only person who has actually tried to help me." He then said, "I will -- come meet at the top of this building." So I did thinking that he was just joking, but then he opened up the trade box and put in 700g. I was shocked thinking that at the last second he was going to click cancel and when I saw the trade box light up green on one side I clicked trade on my side and sure as heck, I got 700g more for a total of 5000g.

I went back to Dalaran and bought my epic flying lessons and am now enjoying flying 280% faster. For all those reading, the name of the guy who helped me was Ohurs, and I immediately added him to my friends list. So I have found something rarer than an artifact weapon drop -- someone who was generous without looking for any payback.
