I have been to FSC, JK, etc. And people get scared for not darn logical reason. It's a freaking virtual set of monsters! When I had my gurl, Temp Cali, I would be people to invite to FSC, I didn't hesitate getting hit, (which caused me to die every 2 minutes), and I slowly got rare mats, sold them and got better gear. If you are scared, it is most likely that you aren't going to win,(solo,or with other scardey teammates).
The thing I've noticed the most is that both noobs and elites get scared, please don't, because your buds came with you to win, ty.
(Again not associated to most people I have friended or been in Guilds with.)
[Update] Thanks for the replies! If you really think that I just go in for the hit and like comparing a grizzly bear to a server, than that's just fine!
Here's how I along with others actually think: http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/14889
