For those who struggle with group content

[Carin-Eri]

Found myself revisiting this thread, because I've actually found myself doing less group content lately.

My performance hasn't really improved since I last posted in this thread. Still prone to making the same stupid mistakes. Still don't seem to remember said mistakes so that I don't make them again. Still spend the majority of most group content I play on the floor, relying on good-hearted healers to waste their mana on me. I'm not particularly good at any job, I can't remember mechanics no matter how often I play whatever. I can't do solo/MSQ content on anything but Very Easy most of the time, and even THEN it sometimes takes me several attempts.

I even tried a few Extreme Raids - Zodiark and Hydaelyn - in the hopes that I might learn and improve from playing at that level. I didn't - I mean, the teams did complete them and I did my best to contribute, but hard not to think that I was carried really.

I really do feel as if I have absolutely NO talent for for this game. Which is a paradox, since I love the game nonetheless.

Anyway, again, was reminded of this thread whilst was on my Island Sanctuary (where I seem to spend most of my in-game time lately) debating whether to queue something and unable to actually bring myself to do so for the reasons I noted. Oddly nice to re-read a thread where there was/is at least some acceptance of the fact that some players don't find group content easy.
