The cycle of disbanding that keep casuals from doing content

[Aana]

Empathy or no the information has been reiterated. There is also a fine line between "asking to lend a hand if you can" (which tons of people stated in this very thread that they already do anyway) and the expectation that people help you on principle. A line that has been jumped back and forth over repeatedly whenever it's convenient.

"We are asking that people do NOT go out of their way to deliberately make things harder."
Who's deliberately making things harder? That 1 post from like 10 pages ago that says to come buy his runs? Who exactly is deliberately making newbies life harder?

It doesn't change the fact that every single successful raider to ever walk the earth was a newbie once and found a way via the tried and true conventional methods described ad nauseum on this forum. Why is telling others to do the same bad? We aren't telling people to do things we ourselves haven't done, yet this is not a satisfactory answer. I do not understand why this isn't good enough when it has been for every successful endgame player as long as MMOs have existed.
