It's the bane of my existence, and I don't know how to shake it. I really want to do endgame top-level content, but I can't.
Like, I know that it is irrational, I know it shouldn't be a thing. But I can't help it. I can't progress myself into "Endgame" content. As soon as I get close to it, I start getting the overwhelming urge to start over with something new. Got DRK to 80. Immediately started leveling Dancer. Got Dancer to 70, now I am on Paladin, currently at 58. Who knows once I get Paladin into the 70s. This has been a thing since ARR for me. I play the MSQ, 4-man dungeons, and the regular/hard trials. Occasionally a 24-man Raid. But as soon as I get close enough to unlock and do Extremes/Raids/Savage/etc., I hit a wall and freeze. I find myself either rolling a new Job, or idling on my highest-level job doing nothing, standing in front of the entrance to *insert current raid*.
It's not that I can't do the content, it's that I don't want to try to even find out if I can.
What's stupid about it is, I am not really sure what exactly I am afraid of. Is it that I am too worried that I am not good enough player for the content, and I don't want to be the guy who drags a group down and causes them to not complete things? In the content that I do play, I'd like to think that I am at least competent. Then again, I have not played any content where actually being Good matters. Is it just fear of being made fun of by internet nerds for not being perfect? I'm usually pretty thick-skinned about things like that so...I don't know. I can't call it. All I know is that I'd really love to see the cool endgame fights and shit like that, but I never do because of this "alt-itis avoiding endgame" thing that I have going on. This is not something exclusive to this MMO, either.
I'm sure someone is already writing up a Shitpost making fun of this post for the shitpost sub, and that's fine if it makes someone feel better. Just have the decency to make it funny and not bitter.
I just needed to vent because this is a personal frustration of mine and I don't exactly know how to get past it. I know "man up, stop being a bitch" is the correct answer, but that somehow just doesn't work.
one of these days I guess. I suppose it will require finding a class that I like so much that I have no desire to play anything else, perhaps.
