First epic I ever saw was in Strat. Elemental Mage Staff dropped. My brother and I immediately “grats’ed” the Mage, and passed - assuming, like good boys, that the Mage should get the staff. Then the Druid and Hunter (or Priest?) rolled, and the Druid won. We were pissed, and argued that the Mage should get it. Druid said “Nah”, and likely went on to sell it for pretty big gold.
That bad experience led to a Classic-long friendship with the Mage, invitation to his guild, and months of raid progress and friendship with some awesome people. Best possible outcome from what could have been a simple ninja.
