    Not wanting to explain something does not make a veteran player lazy. The player already did the leg work to learn the fights one way or another. A new player's unwillingness to watch a fight is lazy. A vet player not wanting to explain fights every time they use the DF is understandable.

    By your logic of the double edge sword:

    Player A put in x effort to learn a fight.
    Player B put in 0 effort to learn the fight.

    Now player A has to put in more effort to teach player B. Player A already put in the time to learn the fight. Player A is not being lazy be refusing to explain stuff.

    So why are people getting on new players for doing the exact same thing that we do when new content comes out? The first day Hullbreaker came out, did people watch videos? No because there were none, we bashed our heads into a wall until we figured it out. When someone we knew did beat it: 'oh oh how you did it, give us advice etc...' and then we would take that and beat it with the advice.

    Honestly to me sometimes it just feels like a 'do as we say, not as we do' hypocrisy. They are simply doing what we did, figuring it out buy doing, like we did when they game started, and how we do it every time new content comes out. Because to them, even if it's been out for 5 months, it's new content.
    The standards change. When hull breaker came out, I ran it with three other FC mates so we could figure out the entire dungeon together. That's exactly what I suggested above, new players should find like minded people to explore dungeons with.
