    Maybe, maybe not. But I wish people would stop 'assuming' that they are not well above average, or that everyone else can do what they do if only they have the right attitude.
    I'm going if topic but I have met people who believe that you can achieve anything in life if you really want it enough. They meant anyone, they meant anything. I even challenged them with 'like you can be ground breaking 'Theoretical Phycisist' if you want? The next Einstein? And they said yes and I actually believe they believed it. I've met people who think that people can cure their own Pschozphrenia and Alzheimer's if you muster enough mental fortitude or whatever.

    It could be everyone can be savage raider with a bad ping but I'm not convinced. I think some people (not that small a number, have only X ammount of time to practice, are at a neurological disadvantage, they can do it with help, but disadvantage like bad ping will be just that bit too much)

    Some people just don't have what it takes to fly a fighter including high workloads for 8 hours and guarantee not to crash it at the end when landing back in the carrier even in bad whether. And there is a while spectrum of realities in between.

    Well that's obviously not true because disabilities exist and some people do actually have different development to eachother (internally). Also, in some people their body or their brain does actually permanently get affected by stuff long before they are aware but they don't get scans regularly to know about it.

    I am really only talking about an average person and in a lot of cases it's more to do with them believing they can't do it rather than they actually can't. A lot of people who change their life often say they wouldn't recognize the person they were (take a lot of people before they were famous and had a schedule book for every spare hour of their life, for example).

    With raiding people love to find reasons why they can't do it, until something makes them try it out and they discover it's not as bad as they thought (friends getting them to do it, or unsycing it but having to do mechanics and gaining confidence, watching streams, etc).

    If we were discussing playing on an Australian server, I would agree with your point, because often that sort of ping difference can make you have to predict your movements in games. But the ping difference between EU and NA is not usually big enough for that and VPNs can make it even better, so it mostly just affects weaving.

    And if you mess up the weaving you'll probably still be able to clear anyway.
