I’ve realized today that I’ve been feeling pretty down. I bailed on what could have been my first ICC due to the fact that I firmly believe that I’m not good enough.
The only problem I have with an awesome guild is that occasionally I’ll feel like I’m not good enough.
On the other hand, I got ‘Greedy’ the other day.
Maybe I’m just a casual player? What does that mean, anyway? So I don’t and don’t know how to raid anymore. Does it matter as long as it’s fun? Should I even bother being in a guild when I don’t contribute much to their cause? How will that affect their rating in Cataclysm? Why can’t I be a good player like the others who sport the guild tag?
I think I need to stop thinking so much. Maybe that’s also why I used to drink when we raided in BC.

I remember feeling a bit like that back when I wanted to first start raiding, back in BC. I had a friend tell me that if I could get 700 sp and hit cap they would take me along a guild alt/fun run through Kharazan. I really didn’t want to look like a total scrub and such, but definately wanted to see the inside of that castle.
But since your joining a pug, I don’t necessarily see where your recieving this pressure to perform from. You have to realize that a large majority of the players in that pug are probably more terrible then you can possibly imagine being. Even if there gearscore is 5500+, lol.
I’d say just join an ICC. All of the fights require little to no explanation to be done if completed with some mild self awareness. The best possible scenerio is that you go into ICC, do amazing, and have everyone forget your name 30 minutes after the raid is completed, assuming they even looked at it. If you fail tragically, you wait 30 minutes and no one is the wiser.

Man, just go in there and have some fun with it. You will hit a few bumps in pugs (and even guild runs), but as long as you’re avoiding fire/bad stuff and not getting cleaved by a boss, you’re good to go! (maybe a quick read on the strats would help, too. ;) )
