Have you ever talked to a person with no gaming experience about FFXIV?

I went home for a bit this summer to spend time with my family and was asked to explain the basic premise of MMOs, dungeons, and such to my well-meaning mother. Later, when I was playing, this happened:

Mom *walks into the room, stares at screen, stops*: Wait, so you're all alone right now?
Me: Um, yeah?
Mom: But you're a healer, right?
Me: Uh-huh...
Mom: *extremely concerned voice* Where is your tank? Can you survive without a tank?!
Me: Um, yeah I--
Mom: And you don't have any damaging persons! What are you going to do if a monster jumps out at you?!
Me: Nothing will jump out at me, this is a low level--

*a Roegadayn miner runs past*

Mom: THERE'S A TANK! THERE'S A TANK! Catch that one!
Me: That's a person, not a pokemon...
Mom: *does not compute* But, then how do you get people to be on your team?
Me: You send them a message and ask.
Mom: ...Oh. No wonder you're all alone. *walks out*
Me: DDDDD;

Me: You send them a message and ask.
Mom: ...Oh. No wonder you're all alone. *walks out*

There, there now.
