Make sure you never get grouped with inept players again.
    I typically don't do random DF groups because I hate wasting my time with players who play poorly. I play with my like minded people because I don't want to be rude to the DF group when I want to run the dungeon in 10 mins or less.

    Also, as it pertains to DF, there is a difference between a player wanting to run fast and a player who has no idea what is going on. The player who wants to run fast is not going to slow three other people down and take up more time than needed. One new player in the dungeon has the potential to hold back the entire group.

    I would say the new player is being selfish if they expect to do sub par dps/hps/tanking, not know where to go, and expect people to explain the fight to them. The player who wants to go faster is not adding extra time to the dungeon. The inept player is most likely already adding more time to a dungeon via bad gear or bad dps/hps/tanking. The player new to the dungeon could at least hear the explanation on youtube instead of expecting to hear an explanation from a party member.

    Most of the time, it just seems like the new player is lazy and rather get an explanation from the party or carried by the party rather than doing the research themselves.

    Also, maybe those players would down more content if they were not so lazy and actually researched fights. I am not interested in helping those who don't want to help themselves.
