I'm in EU but often play EST evening if that would fit. Alternatively, I'm in a few different endgame LS that has sometimes have people running it if you'd like an invite.

Apparently I had to somehow know every fight I went in or else people would start to bitch about me messing up. At first it made me reluctant to tank but now if I que for something as a tank I straight up say once I'm in the instance "I'm new BTW if you gonna be a ass if I mess up I ask that you please gtfo and have a nice fucking day "(11-28-2014, 12:59 PM)Kage Wrote: "That kind of attitude"? Most people either say fine they'll help me (thank you lolnin frenzy) or they just shut up and pray we clear.

I'll guess at this point that party finder hasn't given you much to join. Have you tried putting up a PF group of your own?(11-28-2014, 01:14 PM)Berrod Armstrong Wrote:Finding a group.

And the MT yelled at me. But I stayed as I wanted to finish it. I messed up again and others started yelling at me. And we wiped again. A chorus of seven people calling me names and telling me I was the worst tank they'd seen, etc. etc. Hurt my feelings and for thirty minutes I put up with it until I just left in tears. Yes...a group of seven people I didn't know made a grown adult cry. I almost quit tanking that day and it took me a LONG time to get back in and beat it with a group of friends. And the same for Titan. I'm more comfortable today in my tanking and my gear helps cover small errors. The point is, I am sensitive, and scared as hell about touching any new content without friends. Because they will be more forgiving when I make a mistake. Strangers I have found....can be quite cold.

What I can recommend is that you start lassoing your friends one by one -- ask them about helping you sometime. Schedule something, lasso more friends, have them lasso their friends...and if push comes to shove, grab that last PUG member or two (and have your friends be a wall between any possible meanness and you! You can always replace a douchebag). It takes a great deal of persistence to get it done, and that's just what makes the reward all the sweeter in the end!(11-28-2014, 01:34 PM)Berrod Armstrong Wrote:I had a very bad experience once that makes me near terrified of entering those types of things with people who I don't know.
