Say that I'm playing Everquest or World of Warcraft and the 2nd person that has been invited into my group (F2) is in dire need of some healing as she is being whacked on repeatedly by a "Deviant Rotting Zombie Warlord" or worse,
a "Fangtooth Rabid Howling Yorkshire Terror".
Well, I immediately hit F2 to select my groupmate and click a numerical button that I have linked to the Heavy Runecloth Bandage that I made myself (First Aid - Skill level 300. Thank you very much!) and HOPE that by the time I am done channeling this act of bandaging, that F2's Health meter will still have a little color in it so that she won't die, turn into a ghost and need to be ressurrected.
Meanwhile, F3 and F4 have jumped in to cause enough aggro on said "Fangtooth Rabid Howling Yorkshire Terror". Of course, Player F5 is casting buffs on F3 and F4 from a distance. F2 is now able to find a safe spot to down a healing potion to top of her health meter.
So as not to leave you hanging on this exciting fight, "Fangtooth Rabid Howling Yorkshire Terror" is defeated.
On its corpse is a lovely Epic Cloak with a + 20 to Health that is awarded by a random roll of the dice by all group members to Player F2!
Player F2 is so thrilled that she hands all group members a delicious mug of Dwarven Stout.
Now, doesn't this make you just want to log off of YT to run
to your nearest EB store for a MMORPG, or what?
