Feedback: Dawntrail MSQ dungeon difficulty

No. This game is for everyone, including those with social anxiety. It is up to other players to be kind and supportive because that's what decent people do. We lift each other up, we don't tell them to get lost if they struggle.

You could not be MORE wrong about this. If someone approaches you and says, "hey, I'm struggling with X, do you think you could help me, please?" Then, yes, absolutely, be a supportive individual and help. But if that same individual is unable to approach anyone and ask for help, which is exactly what crippling social anxiety prevents people from doing, yet can muster up the courage to cry on a forum that the game is too tough, no, they don't "deserve" to keep playing this game.

By and large, gaming is very similar to sports, and not everyone is cut out for every sport, just like how not everyone is cut out for every game contrary to what your statement suggests. Not everyone is equipped with the necessary tools and/or skill set to play every kind of game, just like how a basketball player does not have the tools and skill set to play football. The DIFFERENCE between video games and sports, especially a video game like XIV, is that the ability to be good doesn't boil down to the typical 40/60 of talent and effort like sports does. Literally everything in this game can be taught, can be learned and can be completed by anyone, barring special, extraordinary circumstances. However, this game does not teach us everything about itself, and if someone is struggling, no one will know unless they speak up. Again, the crippling social anxiety prevents this, and thus, I say again, either the poster of my original reply needs to get over their anxiety and learn to deal with it or stop playing because this game is not for them.

This actually highly confuses me. We have people who are too afraid of doing even dungeons in DF out of fear that 3 other people will judge them but have no problem posting about it to a forum where potentially hundreds of people will judge them instead. I guess it just doesnt make logical sense.

Eh, learning and struggling in front of other people in a way that makes you feel like they're frustrated with you for wasting their time (ps: Learning new content is what the DF is for, so you could never be wasting anyone's time as long as you're trying) isn't quite the same as writing a forum post explaining how those struggles make you feel.
