People who say "first time" in new content

Why? What compels you to say something so obvious? I genuinely don't understand.

I sincerely apologize for assuming people would be new to the newly added content in 6.2, I did not know it was wrong to think this way.

To alert people like yourself who are blatantly unaware that not everyone's game knowledge is on the same page.

Could you explain what you mean by that? Do you mean people don't know that it's new content?

To my knowledge, the game will only specify that there is a new person in the group not who that new person is, and if people do announce as such, depending on their role in the encounter can help things go much more smoothly or just to set an overall expectation from the people. If there are 2 new tanks to Seat of Sacrifice then I absolutely want to know.

Some people just do it as a common courtesy to let other people know about their experience. I don't think it is necessary, but then I also don't see why you care regardless.

some people in this game get incredibly upset if things don't go well in a dungeon or people don't do mechanics. THe sprout icon usually handles it but when you're not a sprout people feel the need to preface it in case someone is going to rage at them for getting a mechanic wrong.
It happens a lot more than you think where there's a wipe, and insults start getting flung around.

Because at this point, many groups are a mixture of players who have done the content before and those who haven't.

People tend to be more forgiving to players doing something for the first time and well, the notice at the beginning doesn't tell you who the new player is.

It's a courtesy to notify the party you may not be handling mechanics optimally. Courtesy, as in something that is sorely lacking in the game these days, these people are actually being nice, don't question it please

There's a significant chunk of players who seem to forget that, yes. Also, this doesn't only apply to content that's actually new. It applies to older content as well. When I see the "first time" pop-up from the game, I'll sometimes say it's my first time even if it isn't just to make the other person more comfortable.

Just because it is new, it does not mean people have not played it before you. I have seen a few people play the new Paenaemonium raid fights over and over, mostly due to not getting the gear they wanted. Its simply a way to let people know that.

Do people actually get that upset over content that's been out for barely a week now? That's kinda sad...
Actually do some people still have their sprout icon when they're at 6.2's content?

I guess that makes sense. Maybe I'm just stupid but I feel like people shouldn't expect everyone to have already done the content a week in.
