"Hey OP that’s me!" they , throwing in a couple of laugh emojis for good measure. "I saw the compass and kept following it but only saw the NPC’s and figured 'guess he’s the other way since he hasn’t cleared these guys' then I left because I’m trying to fight a꧂nd didn’t want to hunt everywhere and the compass was fu*cking with me. Well played!"
