Is this truly wrong?

Then you misread my intentions which is of course understandable as I can see where you are coming from. I am not trying to put anyone down, I am here to provide some perspective. If you are truly struggling to beat 9th percentile after actually trying, then to me, it seems like the issue is with the player himself and one should just accept that they're not that great. Has nothing to do with me being a decent player. I don't consider myself to be hot shit, I just have a mindset for self improvement. I've been helpful plenty of times in the game itself. Having done 2000 mentor roulettes I took the job seriously and I like to think I did something for this community. Sorry you read this as me attempting to brag. The sole thing I wanted to get across is that you can only improve as much as you can and you can only go as far. Nice shot at claiming linguistic superiority while claiming one should regard the feelings of others. English is not my first language.

As for the Dragon Sight tether, the only reason I get it currently is because according to Xiv logs app, DS, in fact scales the highest when put on me, even in opener as I burst for 13k in my opener at times. The BRD we currently have is a static member that replaces our old BRD (undergeared atm and not experienced on the class), who also did not output my amount of damage and did not use DS as to the extend that I did (although marginally). There are also logs where I did not receive DS and got great logs. I also have no AST for my best logs and we are a weekly clear raiding group, so we don't optimize. It's cool that you wish to look at logs, I've nothing to hide. I see myself as a capable player, which is all I want to be.

But please, don't confuse my own experience as someone who used to be a bad player as an excuse to brag on how I am now. I am a good Ninja, but not a great one. I don't think I'll ever be a great one and that's fine. I think I'm at my personal limit and that is what I was trying to convey. If you're doing so horribly after trying, you will most likely never be what you have in mind (Kaiva).

That's it for me in here, though. If you feel like you can't improve any further, or that the goals you have set for yourself are too high, then there is no shame about lowering them.
