I keep seeing people who are anxious about playing as a tank or a healer. Someone asked one and they said they werent actually sure what it was they were anxious about. They felt pressure "because I know that if I screw up, it's probably gonna cause a wipe".
Could you imagine getting through all of FFXIV for the first time without ever wiping out? Or any video game?
I can understand the fear of wipes, wipes cause lost time, they feel like failure, and there are a lot of people out there who act like they're not playing an MMO, and get pissed when their schedule gets messed up. But you and the rest of your team aren't the ones in the wrong. If you're playing an MMO, that's part of the game. The SOCIAL ONLINE experience. Your expectation should be that "things can and will go wrong". (Which is why it feels so good when things go flawlessly :smoothface.jpg
. It's okay to wipe.
Dont let internet strangers get you down. You're not an NPC in someone else's game.
As long as you're doing your best. And when you do get stuck, you're making an effort to learn from others and the resources available, then you're doing your job well. And 99% of people will commend you for that. Shit, I give my healers and tanks all the commendations when we wipe cause they stuck it out and got us through the next rounds!
