    I think you're engaging in a bit of hyperbole there. I mean, if you want to go that route, I could say that people that think it's perfectly OK to jump into DF blind and muck up duties for the rest of us make me lose my faith in humanity and make me sad to be a gamer. But that'd be a bit silly and over the top and wouldn't make much sense.

    Facetiousness aside, I enjoy helping people. I jump into learning and clear parties for various things from time to time, and help plenty of friends and FC/LS members to get clears. The thing is, helping someone requires that the person you're helping actually puts in some effort to know what's going on and to react accordingly. If all they do is flounder around uselessly, die three times, and get people that do know what they're doing killed right along with them, it's a carry. If there's more benefit to leaving them dead than to raising them, it's a carry.

    There's not much reward that you could give out that's going to make people stay till the bitter end when it's clear that the duty isn't going anywhere. You're talking about 60-90 minutes out of someone's day spent doing something that often times isn't much more constructive than banging your head on your desk. I'll bail on a duty well before max Echo if I see that people are doing things that Echo doesn't fix, i.e. ignoring mechanics. If they've been told several times how to do something and are still failing at it (or not even trying) then why should I waste my time? It's Duty Finder, not Carry Finder. Help yourself and people will be more willing to help you.
