A demonstration of the point, not that you're likely to get it.
I get much more enjoyment from seeing the people around me get something that makes them happy than I do from getting something for myself, as does my partner. In EQ terms, that pretty much always meant everyone in the group gets something before we did, and we were always available to help people get things they needed.
Although there were always random people, these groups were usually made up of an extended friends and family group of 30ish people from many guilds, we never joined one.
In mid-2000 we had to relocate 1500 miles and drive, and in perfect EQ fashion, we're playing late the night before leaving and running around doing some tasks, with the whole friends and family group offline already, and we wiped. I can't even remember what happened, but it was someplace where it would take us a very long time to get to and we had four hours before hopping in a car for 12 hours.
Next day she called one of our friends to let them know what had happened and that when we came back online a week or so later we'd be needing to ask for help for ourselves for once.
We finally get online a week later, and at this point are kind of looking forward to the regearing process, our gear wasn't great anyway. We get pinged by the friends to come meet them in EC. We get there to find that the entire friends and family group had dropped everything they were doing and had spent the entire previous week camping things around the clock and donating funds. They came up one by one to hand us things.
We ended up being way better geared than we were before. I'm sure you get more plat and items than I do, but I would rather be on my side.
