    I know it's a MMO. But MMO doesn't mean you must do content in groups with large numbers of people. It only means a lot of people are likely to be online at the same time.

    Someone with anxiety might be playing to do things with friends and they're fine when they're only with those friends. Bring strangers into the group, and their anxiety may start being a problem. They are usually still able to do the content with strangers but it will be stressful and that stress frequently leads to feeling exhausted.

    Exhaustion is a personal problem. MSQ content can be cleared while anxious but if the person doesn't like being anxious they have the option of playing something else.
