CT Noobs

[HakuroDK]

OP, I'm writing down your character name just to make absolutely sure I avoid any chance of running with you. Opinions like that are the reason there's a "vote kick for harassment" feature in the game.

Seriously, are you just flame posting at this point? You were new at CT once too, you know. Everyone here was. Hell, I ran it on Day 1 and there were no special walkthrough videos. But every single person in my raid was of a mind that "no one knows the raid, so we're gonna wing it and wipe fifty times, so that's okay." And you know what? All 24 of us had a ton of fun with it. But now we have "uber pros" like yourself and some of the folks in this thread running CT over and over and over, and I get thrown into stupid cheerleader politics of determining which players and groups in the alliances suck worst.

I know CT isn't that hard. Not that hard at all. But that's because I know exactly how to run it, because I've run it before. If you tell someone to go watch a video, unless they are a visual/auditory learner, they're not going to remember that at all! And to be perfectly honest, a lot of players of MMOs are kinesthetic learners, which means they have to run something in order to learn it. And chances are, in a raid with 24 people in it, there's going to be at least one person who is a kinesthetic learner who has never run it before, and if it's really not that hard, that one player's lack of experience should have minimal, if any impact on the entire raid.

Also, calling people out as being "noobs" is only going to incite hatred. Think of how you would react if you were called a "noob" because you couldn't do something. Would you honestly take that from someone else? Or would you get angry and argue the reasons why you couldn't do it? "Can't run T5 Coil with six players? What a noob."

Folks with that kind of mentality that everyone less experienced than them is a noob... it's poisonous. If CT isn't that hard, then you should be able to complete it without having to rely on that player.

Have some empathy for the rookies, for the love of the Twelve.
