How has your confidence as a gamer grown?
I've only ever played one MMO (ESO). I started playing in 2019, and for the first two years all I cared about was levelling crafting and learning furnishing recipes.
During that time I had no idea what I was doing in terms of combat. Combat was the least important thing to me. Then I made some friends, played for a few years, and a few weeks ago I got my first trial trifecta (Kyne's Aegis). A few weeks after that I got Sunspire hard mode as a portal runner. (Those Sunspire portals are HORRIBLE).
I can't describe exactly what I mean, but it's something to find you're actually not completely shit at something. When I was a child, my dad would plug in the ZX Spectrum for me. But in ESO, I've worked my arse off to be good. I started off not giving a shit about group content, then made some friends, found myself playing with them, made a trial build eventually, kicked some arse.
Is this ringing any bells with anyone? Any women gamers, I want to know your stories too. What made you go from "I'm playing games" to "HELL YEAH I'm playing games".
