Through D1 and D2 I can, quite literally, count my raid completions on the fingers of one hand.
The more mechanic heavy they’ve become then the less I feel able to complete them and enjoy the experience.
I’m Autistic and have ADHD. Several people telling me what do, in my ear ?- not helpful. Attention span of a Gnat ?- not helpful. Worrying I’ll screw up and spoil your experience ?- 100% of the time.
My clan raid several times a week. I’ve been told they’ll get me through; that their patience is boundless.
But, is mine ?.
Try as I might, I don’t want to screw up. I find that the more I try then the worse I get and nothing makes me feel worse than dragging others down when everyone else has a zillion completions and finds the part I’m stuck on, really simple.
I’ve watched guides- didn’t help. I’ve read guides- didn’t help.
I just find them really intimidating.
Just me ?
I just don’t like the gatekeeping. I get turned off from a lot of LFGs because I mostly see a “Know what to do” tag in there.
I don’t want to have someone guide me because I don’t want to be a burden to their time.
And I don’t want some nerd telling me my load out is bad/suboptimal because I don’t have Mountaintop.
I like Menagerie, it lets people like me get a pseudo raid, with none of what I listed above, and I wanna see more like it.
