Embarrassing confessions-

[Halivel]

Hello I am back with another embarrassing confession ;-;
This time it isn't about the game but the forums.. I don't know how to make threads T__T

There is a button for that on main paige for the section you are in. (:

Thanks ^^ I never saw the options due to never being in General Discussion in the first place xD

This is my first MMO, so back when I started the game I was pretty much terrified of playing with other people and potentially being a burden on them.
So one of the things I did - or rather: didnt - do during my first dungeon runs was not rolling on loot, because I felt like others might needed or deserved it more and I didnt want to take it away from them. However, since I was playing a tank, its not like the rest of my party would have had much use for those items (outside of gearing alts, of course)...

Back when my "dungeon anxiety" was still a huge roadblock, I had quite a few problems in post-ARR trials to always end up behind the boss due to AoE dodging. So what was destined to happen? During Ramuh (Normal), I dodged and all, ended up in front of the boss, and died an embarrasing death during the incoming frontal attack (which just HAD to happen at that time). Ironically, this was on DRG and the random group told me before not to worry too much and just don't die after my "hello, first time and nervous as f***" greeting. While everyone had a good laugh at my costs -- not in a toxic way -- I could have curled up and die at that moment XD.

Only thing I can think of is way back when I started really playing this game, sometime around the end of ARR and before start of HW. Having come from both FFXI and WoW, I was under the impression I wasn't supposed to actually do damage. I was used to the way the other MMO's did it. Huge, continuous spike damage would happen and MP was always tight so I wasn't supposed to waste it trying to do loldamage and risking someone got spiked to death. Cleric Stance? Clearly to help me get through the solo quest content that I have to go through. It cripples my healing, so what else would it possibly be used for? I was new and so while I noticed mobs weren't dunking people, I didn't know what mobs could do, so I always assumed that any new mob could possibly dunk the party. This mindset got solidified when I ran a Haukke Manor Hard and the tank was pulling everything he possibly could forcing me almost Oom to keep him alive, so I never cast a single damage spell inside of a dungeon. The thing is, *nobody* ever bothered to correct me. It wasn't until I was doing a HW Expert Roulette in the Antitower and some tank decided he wasn't going to put up with me not casting damage spells, and I was SO confused by this. Now I'm like everyone else, if I'm healing, I'm casting Broil if I'm not hitting OGCDs. Wish someone would've bothered to tell me I was being bad earlier then Antitower. It's so shameful to think about, heh.

I had a an under geared sprout tank run off to try super pulling a low level duty while on WHM and die. Then let them die about 10-15 more times on purpose afterwards because they chose to insult me then accuse me of buying a skip potion after the first death. At which point told them 1. I hadn't healed that duty since ARR and 2. I've capped every tank job already and can point out everything they're doing wrong if they haven't figured it out on their own already. I probably should have just left before then but the DPS in the group atleast thought my response was funny and I was in one of those moods where I'd watch someone do something stupid waiting for something to happen like hitting themselves in the groin with a sledgehammer just to ask them "Ok so what did you just learn?"

You are my 2nd favorite poster.

I literally thought that Hallowed Ground was an AoE placed at your feet that gave everyone ten seconds of invuln.

Granted, this was the first MMO I've ever played even remotely seriously. The MMO I played was Conquer Online before this.

I spent about a year being absolutely horrified of using Party Finder for some reason. Now you find me using it to invite people to join me for the Jumbo Cactpot drawing.

As a dancer main, I had shield samba and closed position right next to each other. They are a similar color and I wasn't really paying attention, clicked on my fellow dps, hit the button and off we went, only to be asked after the first pull why I hadn't partnered anyone. I said 'But I di..... oh...." when I noticed samba was on cooldown. I apologized profusely as I partnered up, blushing a bit irl and laughing at myself.
