My Catharsis in FFXIV

[Nora_of_Mira]

I just wanted to play the game and have fun, not aim to be top in damage meters and be criticized when I don't push to squeeze out every bit of damage I can do. I just wanted to do stuff, but there was no way that I could in an environment full of people that demanded too much from me.

I have to ask, what content do you spend the most time doing? Because if you want to play with people that don't expect anything from others, stick to dungeons and 24 mans and trials roulettes.

what exactly is "demanding too much"? have you equated what exactly people are asking you to do?

I'm speaking from a relatable perspective because I remember being a lvl60 DRG during Heavensward and not actually knowing how my buffs worked and it took a while to actually learn wtf I was doing. That was a long time ago and I've learned a lot since then, but even recently when I tried joining Savage parties, I REFUSED to use potions because I thought it was a waste (and I'm poor). So I knew exactly what people were asking me to do, and I refused to care until they convinced me of the benefits (its only relevant in savage content).

this is just an example of my own bc I dont really see much context in your post. Theres nothing wrong with not being optimal in casual content (dungeons, trials, 24mans) because its designed to allow such. But it's a different story if you're trying to clear Extreme primals and savage content where teamwork and DPS actually matter.


edit: I just watched the catharsis video as I didnt have time earlier. When did Dan stop doing Extra Credits?!
