    Same, it’s why I avoid games where raiding is the endgame, I’m not studying a boss on youtube before I fight it, there’s no fun in that and this is the only genre where people do it.

      There are casual guilds out there in most games where everyone smokes weed and doesn’t really care how well the raid goes as long as everyone is chill and having fun. Harder to find, though, most guilds are full of tween turbo Chad officer’s that adhere to DKP until it’s something they want for their buddy, or alt, or they can sell for a lot.

        Man, one time I joined the public (pvp) raid of a well known crazy guild. Pretty sure that at least the leader had taken some stuff. The shit-talk was hilarious and they didn’t care what happened. One of the most memorable raids I had the privilege being a part of.

      omg yes, it’s so much more fun for me to figure out how it works on my own from trial and error

        This, when I was last doing the story in FFXIV I had a few dungeons that were like that, nobody seems to understand that I enjoy working out the mechanics through pain and doubt a lot, perpetual 170 ping from playing on na servers helps with the suffering too.

          Problem solving and overcoming challenges through your own determination and skill is really rewarding! I wish there were online communities for people like us! lol i mean i guess there probably are I just don’t know about them

      Figuring out how to solve one of the early raids in Destiny 2 was some of the most fun I’ve ever had playing a video game. Unfortunately it’s hard to get even my friends to want to go into a raid without knowing how to clear it as fast as possible. I get it, we don’t have as much time to play games as we used to, but man does it suck the fun out of things. Why even bother playing at that point?
