Is it possible to put too much pressure on yourself?

...well, shoot, you've backed me into a corner now. I don't have a retort to this lol.

*shrug* I went through a similar phase in my own past. I ended up limiting myself to the first two floors of savage (due to the necessary time/care-ness) and joined a sprout FC on a preferred server, since I personally enjoy hanging with sprouts and watching them fall off ledges on Shinryu.

I enjoyed my Twintania/Savage days, but I personally feel I get a better return on my time being a fool with sprouts (and making sure they don't end up as auto-attacking dragoons) than I did wiping continuously for 8 hour sessions.

To underscore just how absolutely I do exclusively and exactly what I want, sam main btw.

But SAMs are good in the right hands..

I kid, I kid, I know what you are saying. I guess I'm just more perturbed that I'm not viewed as a good player in the raiding/casual community because of grey parsing. I dunno, I could give the other jobs (aside from SMN and MNK) a legitimate try at 70, but gearing would take at least four weeks plus some Suzaku runs. Plus, I know for a fact that if I do level the other combat jobs to 70, I will definitely find myself with pretty much nothing to do, hence why I really haven't touched any of the other jobs yet on my main. I dunno, I just feel like I need to be on the same level as a few folks that I have followed in the past.

Sounds like this is a good cycle to sit out of Savage, stop caring about how others see you, and mull over your options. Maybe one of those other classes you level will speak to you on a deeper level than nin.

Feels like you're going in circles. Almost exact thing happened last time before you announced you're deleting your character and all the like, yadayada. Maybe you really need a real break if this keeps you here, making these threads and makes you stressed or whatever you are. It's not fun if you stress about a game that should make you unwind instead.
