'I'm so sorry Imagineddy': Path of Exile 2 players unite to shower gifts on a poor, sweet soul who got yelled at for trying to buy a quiver
If you frequent the Path of Exile 2 subreddit, you'll see plenty of screenshots of the in-game chatlog as players share snapshots of witty repartee or bemoan the rampant spambots advertising level boosting and low-price orbs. But earlier this week, redditor N8-97 posted a different sort of chat screenshot: a mea culpa, declaring his guilt over accidentally crushing the hopes of an innocent soul who just wanted to trade for a cool quiver. That poor bastard was one Imagineddy, who quickly became something between a martyr figure for PoE 2 players and a precious little guy who must be protected at all costs.
N8-97's screenshot, posted under the title «I'm so sorry imagineddy it wasnt meant for you, I meant to message the bot. You can have the item for free,» captures a tragedy of timing. It begins with N8-97 receiving a whisper advertising an illicit currency-selling website—a frustration the average PoE2 player might suffer a dozen times in a week. As I'm sure we've all been tempted to do, N8-97 started launching replies telling the spam bot to «GO AWAY» and «SHUT UP.»
Unfortunately, what N8-97 hadn't noticed was that Imagineddy—an actual player—had also whispered them just seconds after the spambot's initial message, hoping to buy a quiver that N8-97 had posted on PoE 2's official item trading marketplace. In his frenzy, N8-97 was responding on autopilot, lashing out at his latest whisper without realizing it was a legitimate one.
From Imagineddy's perspective, he'd reached out to express interest in buying an item that had been listed for sale, only to be told immediately to fuck off. In one of the more heartbreaking chat messages ever recorded, Imagineddy replied «Sorry……….»
That's a full ten dots' worth of sorrow, dear reader.
To N8-97's credit, he immediately tried to correct his mistake, sending another message saying «I'm so sorry that was meant for a bot.» That message never arrived. Imagineddy had logged off before he could receive it.
