I was in a party with people who raid regularly, and it was a new experience - different than just pugging it with a casual study group, people called me out when i was messing up with my rotation, called each other out and constantly was on top of it, for half of the time, I was staring at the screen so hard that my neck was hurting just from that - it was interesting, intense, a little scary for the first...10min, we were on discord but I could only listen, and I had my microphone turned off - because otherwise I thought i might explode or crack under the "pressure".Â
But at the end I have to admit it was a /lot/ of fun. And it got much less scary once you get used to the pace. Take it as a baby step further. Yay!
It is definitely a different mindset. Often in Pugs people are loathe to call out the mistakes of others, because no one wants to be the 'Bad Guy' also people are disposable. If they're fucking up it's easier to just kick them from the party.
When you get to more formal groups, and the more close-knit endgame community, people do call you out, because they need you to get better. It's not to make you feel bad, it's to make you improve, and if you don't want to improve, why are you there?
That's the logic I think at least, though it can be a little jarring the first time you're seeing it. Pugs are usually deathly silent on wipes, whereas statics often discuss what caused each one.
