    It's called community. If you see an old man burdened with carrying too much and struggling to get through a door do you stop to hold the door open, or tell him next time look up a walk through for the door on YouTube and equip himself better?

    No, they kick him over and call him a filthy senior citizen before skipping inside and waving at him once it starts raining. Then QQ about him blocking the doorway.

    Wanna know what I find incredibly funny?

    "I refuse to watch videos, read guides, or ask for help because I want to learn things for myself and feel accomplished".

    but those same exact people also say:

    "WTF you elitist why won't you help me? It is your duty to teach new players! Stop telling me to learn for myself!".

    The vast majority of the playerbase is more than capable of learning for themselves (and says that they want to) but the second you suggest that they actually do that they lose their minds.

    And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why so many players don't care to teach anyone because it's a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation.
