That is why I sometimes like playing alts in guild runs. I know I could be better, but we are just doing an alt raid for fun. So no pressure. But like you, when in group content, I usually feel as if I should always give my best. So unless it is with guild and they know I suck on that character and am still learning, I won't play that char. I can't unless I feel I can contribute to the best of my ability.<br /><br />You nailed it with a hunter however. Best class in the game to have fun with because there is so much you can do solo. Not to mention doing it solo does help you boost your skills for later as well.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-89330303653146379092013-01-23T06:43:31.529-05:002013-01-23T06:43:31.529-05:00I am the same really.

While I do look at what others do, that just tends to bother me because I see people doing a lot less then I know they are capable of.<br /><br />I guess that is why I like leveling. No need for anything but leveling. It is its own reward. And I can always level another character. It is a development of a character I enjoy. Once you reach max level it becomes a new game, trying to be the best I am capable of being. And that is where the stress comes in.<br /><br />I guess if I did not see how I was doing I wouldn't care. But I am not sure I could play with an "I don't care" attitude.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-37225304246377876822013-01-22T18:20:44.206-05:002013-01-22T18:20:44.206-05:00This is exactly why I love being hunter. Well, so...This is exactly why I love being hunter. Well, sort of.<br />I never started doing dungeons until well into Wrath. I didn't think I was good enough to run them and I didn't want to let everyone down. So I soloed stuff mostly. Because that way, the only person I would let down is me. I had fun, but could still continue to hone my craft and skills. Eventually, I started running dungeons and heroics. I remember doing Cata heroics before they were nerfed - wiping over and over until we got everything timed perfectly. I actually miss those days now.<br />For me, its two different kinds of fun. When others rely on me to know my character, know the fights and know how to react to everything - I'm constantly pushing. The other fun is when I attempt tanking on a paladin. I'm horrible, really horrible. My friend is an amazing healer and usually he ends up helping me tank cause I'm so bad. I'm learning a little bit, but in that role - I'm definitely a lesser player. I don't care that I suck dead air; I'm just enjoying the game. I'm just grateful the boss died and most of the group is still alive.<br />For me - I like the balance. Being a lesser player at times and being a pushed-to-the-limit hunter at other times.<br />Its important to remember to just have fun either way. :DIsmena (Draka)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-61002568466374437222013-01-22T16:25:26.979-05:002013-01-22T16:25:26.979-05:00Try something - next time you run LFR as a dps, tu...Try something - next time you run LFR as a dps, turn off your dps add-on of choice and see if that increases or decreases your level of enjoyment. I'm guessing you're competitive enough that it would decrease your enjoyment (it would mine - when I run LFR I compete against my previous results, not really against other dps in the run... this is the same way I play golf, I play more against myself than the other guy since I have no control over how well he plays) but at least that would give you the feedback that you're actually playing the game the way you want to be. If it increases your enjoyment, though, you might consider just leaving it off for non-progression content and have some more relaxing runs occasionally. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-90153303612666967782013-01-22T15:45:23.610-05:002013-01-22T15:45:23.610-05:00LOLLOLTheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-69528494322710995822013-01-22T12:31:04.006-05:002013-01-22T12:31:04.006-05:00Sure we do!
