Never in all my time of playing on retail did I get anyone to do the quests in this fort before until this day came around. I grouped up with a couple other folks for the gnoll killing quests just outside of this area. We spent a good while killing gnolls and fending off the occasional Horde that decided to come strollin through. Then someone was like "Hey, we all got the elite quests?" and then we headed over to the fort to do that quest(s?).
Now I guess there's nothin to special about that at all, but I unno folks I grouped with on retail (if I got anyone to group with at all) usually leave as soon as everything's done for them, but these guys all stuck around until everyone was done and then went around to look for more things to do together.
This was also when I realized that I really really wanted to play a Paladin and nothing else on Nost. I was originally DPSing with the group since I am Ret, but that was getting pretty dangerous as folks were having to eat after every pull and suddenly I decided to just stand back and heal instead and everything from that point on went as smooth as butter. Got a chance to use all my cool utility stuff and heals so I truly felt like a support which has always been my favorite position to be in games.
Which that leads into another thing. Throughout my time leveling as a Paladin I would always go out of my way to buff and heal someone that I see when I'm traveling. On several occasions I ended up saving the person and almost always, whether they really needed a heal or not, I would later get a whisper from the person telling me thanks in a truly grateful manner (So not like a quick ty or thnx, but folks typing out full sentences of appreciation).
