Why don't skilled players help people who are struggling?

A big problem with expecting people to have watched/read guides is that for some people that is of no help whatsoever. Some people can only learn by doing the thing. Some people are slow learners. Just because YOU learnt it quickly doesn't mean it's going to be the same for everyone else, I'm afraid. I've watched the Titan HM videos like ten times and still can't remember half of the fight xD
I'm not denying there are some truly awful players out there - me included! I'm not usually an end-game kind of girl =P Which is why I don't DF for hard fights, I'm slowly working my way through them by PFing learning parties.

The problem of people who haven't watched the fight also arises when some people who are fresh 50s expect to be able to just do early end-game content like HM Primals and CT without looking beforehand, as that is how they've done the entire rest of the game. It's even more of an issue now because, to an extent, people can be carried through HM mode Primals due to all the i90+ people farming them for glamour weps so they stay firm in their belief that they can just PUG everything. Then EX Primals happen xD

True, but by watching the vids/reading, you at least would know big parts of the fight and how to react to certain mechanics (I hope), I'm then happy to help with the details... but a lot of people haven't got a clue about the fight, either that, or they don't listen to the advice you give them, which IMO is worse than some inpatient players.

New players (especially those who are new to MMO's) can find it difficult when hitting on endgame, but once again (not trying to sound like an elitist, cause I'm not) I've been through the same thing once, and so has every other player further in the endgame... I did the mistake of entering Ifrit HM without looking up the fight, and I payed for it... After that I looked up every other fight before doing them, except for new fights from patches. New players should learn this after doing Ifrit HM without watching/reading up on it. Even if you are carried by ilvl90 people, you should realize you didn't do a good job, and that you should be more prepared the next time...
