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.
I too feel as though I lack talent. I lost all my taste for "end game" content when Garuda EX came out and my friends all wanted to tackle the newest extreme content. We wiped, and I'm not exaggerating, at least 100 times without a clear. By the end everyone basically hated each other and one of the "hardcore" guys started forcing us to group with "experienced" raiders who could "guarantee" a clear. Those new guys started hurling blame and insults at anybody who didn't do exactly what they said. We wiped an additional, and again I'm NOT exaggerating, 25 times without a clear. One week of trying to clear Garuda EX and I've never once thought "end game" content looked like anything more than torture.
