My Best Moment: Or when I truly began to love this game

To begin, I am a WoW refugee. I know that doesn't mean much anymore, but it explains where I am coming from. I am used to any group content (dungeons, raids, etc.) being a frightening affair where the slightest mistake or disconnection is grounds for an instant kick. If you make one mistake as DPS or wifi issue, it leads to a votekick and a "dc lol" in chat.

Tonight, this game's community surprised me in a way I never expected.

Just tonight, I was doing the Cape Westwind trial for the first time for my MSQ. Things were going well until I suddenly disconnected in the middle of the fight. I frantically did my best to log back in and eventually managed to log and get through the login queue.

I expected to be redoing the trial as I knew I would be kicked. But, I was so very wrong. The group had already killed the boss, but they had set up a line dancing while waiting for me to return. It was something they had spent time setting up, and the whole thing made me feel even better. They had all decided to wait and make sure I got credit for the kill (which I did). I even got a commendation.

I am manly enough to admit that I cried a little bit. I've been going through some stuff, and that simple act of kindness made me cry. I genuinely respect and love this community more than I ever thought I would for a game.

So to the Cape Westwind group that had their Samurai dc 20 minutes ago, I just wanted to say thank you for making me smile. I needed it.

TL:DR This community surprised me in a way that WoW taught me was impossible. I needed to smile like that
