Paying it forward!

[Fyrebrand]

I'm happy you got your shades! There are definitely some very kind and spontaneously generous players out there in Eorzea. I remember one time I was hanging around Buscarron's Druthers and some lala opened an unsolicited trade with me and handed me a cookie and a cappuccino just out of the blue. I don't know if they were RP-ing as a restaurant server or something, but it made me smile. Another time, somebody just shouted out in Gridania chat asking if anybody wanted a free Antelope Stag mount. They wound up giving it to me, and explained it was from some kind of Lv.60 area, noting that I would probably like it since I was leveling my crafting. So, I told them basically the same thing as your thread title, I would pay it forward to some other player some day! Gotta level some more yet, but I won't forget it!
(Out of curiosity, I checked the market board for the antelope mount and it wouldn't exactly break my bank, but that's not the point. They still could've easily sold it for a fair chunk of gil, rather than pass it on to a random stranger.)
