I'm not that tank... I random tanked a LOT of heroics in Wrath, gearing up my main tank for my boxing group. But I usually said "r?" at the beginning and that was it. It is so rare to find players this helpful, at least outside of an established guild relationsip, that I have to agree that it sounded like just a good story. I also caught the part about not being allowed to trade cross-realm in randoms.... but it could have worked if the players were from the same server.

If it's really true... I'm inspired. But I'll need to keep boxing to support the cost of giving away that much free kit to random players I've just met :P
