While normally I would break down/sell the item I decided to broadcast to the area that the first person to /Whisper me would receive the item. Many responded and I decided to give away more things. I am not claiming to be the first to do this but I have never seen before was the response from the community. While mailing items to the ‘winners’ I told them one thing, “Pay it forward”. One by one, people decided that instead of making a few coin, or getting some crafting items they could take a few minutes to play a quick game with fellow server mates and give away some items.

I urge you to start this on your server and in your area. At any level you can really make someones day and help each other out. And who knows, you could get a great item just because someone was being a good Samaritan….. and you had the quickest fingers
