a stranger who turned a rough grind into my best night

your bizarre adventure can be a brutal grind, especially when youre chasing a specific stand and the rng just refuses to cooperate. i had been farming arrows for what felt like forever, watching my luck do absolutely nothing, and i was pretty close to logging off frustrated. then this higher level player i had never met noticed me farming in the same spot and just started helping. they cleared the mobs that kept jumping me, pointed me to a better farming route, and when they saw i was low on items they traded me a couple of spares for free just to help me hit my goal. we got to talking and they said they remembered how rough the early grind was so they like to help newer players when they can. a little while later i finally rolled the spec i had been after and typed THANK YOU in caps, and they were just as hyped as i was. we added each other and did a few more farms together after. the grind in these anime games is long, but the people are what turn a frustrating night into one you actually remember. so grateful for the welcoming folks in this community.
