People don’t realize how easy it is to get into raiding in this game

Ngl this seems like whining at this point. You didn’t even read my last reply that I consider myself mid to bad and still clear. It’s not normal to be this offended by my post lmao

Whining? Perhaps. But I just wanted to share my own thoughs and experience of raiding, to show that from my point of view the statement of this topic is false (at least partialy). Also, I haven't done Sphene ex and no longer have any desire to do any content that is harder than normal raids or trials (with an exception of unsync), as it's just not worth it. Also, from what I understand, most players actually somehow get satisfaction just from doing difficult content itself and while I can enjoy it too for some extent, but more often than not this content tends to be so overtuned that it only leads up to frustration and I end up hating it, so why even bother.

A quick reminder: this is a game. If the content frustrates you... It's OK not to do it. HL content has never been for everyone, in the sense that you have to like the challenge and have the time.

Another thing: this is a forum. And if there's one thing that's true of all MMORPGs, even the ones we're bent on comparing when they're radically different from each other... It's that the forums are always full of people who seem to be pros. Some of them are actually good; a lot of them exaggerate a bit, in my experience, because between what they say and the moment you start checking out what's going on behind the scenes there's... A gap.

In my experience a majority of people on this forum with opinions on raid content have literally not even done the raid content, which is really weird. Case in point, that guy was replying to a literal level 2 alt.

I can understand the alt - this character is an old one, for example, mainly to avoid being stalled as soon as I pass here. So I'm not going to say anything about it, that would be hypocritical.

On the other hand, yes, there are often people who claim to make content or - perhaps even more frequently - are (a little, a lot, passionately) less good than they claim to be. If you frequent the forum, you get the impression that the IG population is made up of excellent players, and you have very few posts admitting to having trouble with the game's content - whereas when you play... Well, you come across these “bad” players. Typically (and this is nothing against the player in question, if he reads this post), someone said on the previous page that the last extreme groups formed with sprouts went off without a hitch.

Really? Maybe he was lucky, I don't know. Personally, the last few have been hell.
