Sometimes you get a real friendly party, y'know? They're polite and nice and give you non-confrontational tips as you go. And then sometimes you get horrible parties full of assholes who just tell you how to do your job every time you lose enmity for half a second. And there is just no way of knowing which one it's going to be because you don't know these people, and it's not like there's an in-game "I think I'm better than you at everything" flag.

It's the pressure. I know it's a game, and there's not supposed to be that much pressure, and if it were just me, alone, there wouldn't be. But it's not. It's me and a bunch of people relying on me. I have to preform well, or it's not fun for anyone. It doesn't help that some people wait in queues for half an hour at a time (but not tanks, haha ha... ha).

And now I'm at the point in the game where people are starting to take their dungeons very seriously. The dungeons I'm starting on now are harder and people have thus far been less forgiving of mistakes. And it's just not cool when you have to pop an ativan in the middle of a dungeon run because you're starting to have a panic attack. It's rough, man.

Anyone else have similar feelings about dungeons, or am I the odd man out?

Nah, most of my dungeon roulettes have been really nice, but every now and then I got some really, really awful parties.  One in particular was so bad that I ended up leaving and reporting the entire group for harassment.

Don't let them get to you, though, and please remember that it's not all your responsibility.  Your party is there to help you, and if they don't, it's them who are doing wrong, not you.

Until I die I'll sing these songs
On the shores of Babylon
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong

Where the weak are finally strong
Where the righteous right the wrongs
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong
