That clear, where you've made it further than you've ever made it before, where you're all in a strange state of focus and somewhere between calm and downright insane and you see the boss for the first time hit 1% and you know its coming, you can see it coming, you can feel that damn clear you can taste it, and BOOM....................... you get wiped the fuck out by something and the boss is left standing and laughing at you. You all sit in silence in vent/TS before someone says 'wow you're all a bunch of noobs' and the laughter starts. You take a break.

Then you do it again, you get that rush because you've just been so close and you know you can do it now, focus x1000 kicks in, and when that 1% turns to 0% and the boss goes down and you hear everyone on teamspeak go nuts, that was worth all those wipes.

The best part is, no one gives a fuck about the first loot drops, no one cares that it's all dragoon items and no one even has a dragoon alt, it's all just an amazing amount of fun.

This is why I love hard content, I get far more joy from this than anything else in the game.
