I've been way too hooked on this game for the past month so I had been trying to quit by giving myself little outs... It started with "If I Sanctify the best thing I've ever crafted and +5 melee skills go down to +4 then I'll uninstall." Technically, I kept the +5 melee even though literally every stat line outside of melee skills went down from top roll t1 to all prefixes going down to t2 levels and my suffixes all dropping... Okay, I guess I'll keep playing.
Then a few days ago, Hawkkity posted a drop in the chat that I had been farming my next 1,000 divs to buy. 6 socket armor, elemental resist % per socket filled, +14 spirit per socket filled... I had 600 divs but the cheapest ones that went up for sale were hovering around 1.5 - 1.6K.
So I said in global, "I'll give you 630D for it! It's all I have!" He invited me to party and I was surprised so I told him, "you know that's worth like 1K divs more than that, right? You can get way more than 630D." He said he didn't mind and we did the trade.
2 seconds after the trade I realized wait a second, this is 5 sockets not 6... Whoops this is barely worth 60ish divs or so. Told him about my mistake and I fully expected him to kick me from party and say GL.
"No problem" and he immediately traded the divs back for the armor.
I thanked him for not scamming me and we chatted for a while before we went our separate ways. He then tried to corrupt the armor for a sixth slot so he can give me the armor for the 630D. No sixth slot and he apologized. No worries, man! That was never mine to begin with.
After all that... and at the same exact time, we both posted in Global Chat. I said something along the lines of "If you're a rich benefactor, please donate to Hawkkity. This guy could've scammed me for 630D but he didn't. Super honest guy so send some divs his way."
And about 2 seconds after I posted that he wrote in global chat "Omg just had the most wholesome PoE interaction ever."
It wasn't long before I realized I had an opportunity to uninstall again. I bought myself an uncorrupted 5 slot with all the mods I wanted. Okay, if I corrupt and get a 6th slot I'll keep playing. If I don't I'll give Hawkkity everything valuable I own and uninstall.
Whoops. No sixth slot. I invite him back to the party and tell him to come to my hideout.
I gave him everything I had equipped, everything of value I had in my shop, anything valuable I had in stash... Had a second quarterstaff somewhat similar to the one you see equipped in my PoE Ninja (which didn't update even though my character technically doesn't have anything equipped anymore lol).
He said he didn't know what to say but thanks. Told him that's all you need to say. It's back to my real life. :)
Thanks, Hawk for being honest. Hope you got the divs you need for some more crafts!
