    ill never understand the mentality of not watching vids or learning a class.

    They tell new players and first timers the same crap that the others will. Except vids are nice about it.

    Have you never done a first run of content that you and your friends have not seen before without using a guide?

    There is fun in being among the first to run the content, "no spoiler" runs extend the shelf life of this fun. Sadly not everyone can run content with their friends and must run content with puggles for their first time, if they want to see it at all.

    Most people are fine to run and communicate with in game.

I'm not going to get mad at a newbie in a low level dungeon for not quite having a handle on how his class works. He's a newbie. By definition, he is new to his role. The first few dungeons are simple because they're learning experiences. I'm sure I was terrible in my first dungeon despite having an understanding of basically what a tank does and having read through my skill descriptions.

    People that respond to my helpfulness with "Don't tell me how to play my class!!!" can get bent, though. Always funny when the tank tells me "You're a scholar, what do you know about tanking?!" when my main is PLD.

    Honestly, some people don't get much out of guides and videos. I know I learn better by hands-on experience.

    Pretty much this in my case. I can watch videos until I'm blue in the face but some of us learn better rushing in swords swinging and axes blazing.

    Besides, I find that respect generally works both ways.
    I respect my group, they respect me. They might not LIKE what I do as a tank but as long as there's no reason for the blame game to start, dungeons usually go smoothly.
