Expectations are ruining this game

[Vahlnir]

I agree 100%. If people want to try something they try it, just go in understanding that you have the chance to run into many different types of players some will understand, others will not. If as a new player you run into someone that you view as overly harsh take just chalk that up to a random chance encounter, now if you run into the same reaction many times then maybe it is time to take a look at how you are doing things.

This is something I've had to do while easing myself back into tanking after like, 10 years. I've done enough content in this game through the years that I generally have an idea as to how most fights work, even though I've been a dps up until Shadowbringers. Honestly? The best way to get over this is to jump in with both feet without hesitation, and keep doing it. I know I may mess up, and I also know that some people will be more or less accepting than others, but that's part of the learning process and part of playing an MMO. If I do mess up I just apologize, shrug it off and not repeat the same mistakes twice if I can help it. I don't think I'm doing too bad. Haven't had any complaints, anyway, which I see as a good thing.
