Embarrassing confessions-

[Enla]

I once got into an argument with a tank over the efficacy of Cure 1 versus Cure 2 back when Keeper of the Lake was still fresh content. The guy never died but was understandably frustrated with little nooblet me because I somehow got it into my brain that Cure 1 was better than Cure 2 in every situation because it cast faster. Thus while the tank never died, he came VERY close several times. Needless to say once I realized how stupid I was being I about died of embarrassment.

Another one would be trying to run and explain mechanics in a raid and inevitably dying to those very mechanics because my attention was on typing, and not, you know, actually doing what I was supposed to do. So many rezzes of shame.

Stopped playing for almost 3 years to focus on myself. I always thought that others were toxic and created a bad environment, while I wasn’t. However, now that I just got back to the game, I looked at my post history and realised that I too used to be rude and mean. And I even got upvotes for it. Funny how I could see it in others but was blind to my own behaviour.

I’m just embarrassed to see all my past posts now. Ugh. Which I could just wipe them all away.

But I guess I’ll keep them there as a reminder that I have chosen to grow mature and it needs to remain that way. Hopefully I can be an even better person.

Lost my temper once in Dusk Vigil. Was playing AST back when it's cards had different effects, when I accidentally used an Ewer on the tank, was probably just trying to use it somewhere to get rid of it.
The tank then stopped, and proceeded to give me a lecture into the different card effects, just stopped the dungeon run while we all waited for him. Super patronising, and disruptive for all three of us.
I lost my patience and lashed out, kinda surprised I didn't get reported for it to be honest, given my choice of words. The rest of the run was dead silent.

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.

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

I have been there my friend. It is not a fun feeling.

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.
