The Unspoken Rudeness

[NyarukoW]

..... "Carry me I don't want to put any effort into learning lol" attitude is so overwhelming that is permeates our culture like a stink cloud.

That is your own false interpretation and then using it for your own false indignation and insulting everyone else. It does NOT matter if there are a select few that want to troll or want to be carried, given a large enough player population, a seven sigmas away from norm, you are bound to encounter one of these, but the vast majority of players are not like that at all.

Since clearing T9 at the end of November, I've been helping others clear T9. What you find more commonly is overconfidence, people who over-rate their skill or knowledge, and then find themselves quickly over there heads. Having watched a video does not equal "know the mechanics", and without practice no player will know or be able to internalize the timing of mechanics at all even if it is something completely scripted like T9. If you have a group of 7 are trying to work on fire-in/fire-out/thunder and someone who is dying to lunar dynamo over and over, you just have to kindly ask them to leave. If they want to be mean and nasty about it, there is always the vote kick. But the one thing that really helps, is getting everyone in on voice chat (mumble/TS/etc.) and being able to talk will alleviate any of this kind of misunderstanding, and players will usually volunteer to leave after seeing that they do not understand it as well as they think.

....The video gives you immediate familiarity to the pacing and key mechanics. ....

Videos can't teach you pacing at all the stuff has all been edited to point out certain aspects or point of views. And the videos typically makes no sense and often is just information overload. I encourage people to run it once blind wipe for 20 minutes or so and then go watch the videos now with some awareness as to what to look for in the video.

...you're costing the other 7 members of your DF party up to 90 minutes each...

This is a game, game time is people playing together, wiping and having fun. "90 minutes each" of fun playing time is not a cost. If players are thinking about it as a cost like a job, need to paid, etc. then go do something else.

...
But it's not only those who join, theres many who actually start farm parties with no clue on the fight also just hoping for 7 others to join to carry them.

This happens quite often actually. Instead of getting mad at the PF or other players, just realize you can NOT farm on the PF, you need a static to farm. You can recruit for your static and do tryouts and go from there.

... twist this into another "nobody helps noobs" thread...Everyone has the right to make a pf with any requirements they see fit...

That is such a false misrepresentation. First of all PF = Pseudo-Farm at best, I've seen so call farm parties with so called top players, at least in their own words, fail and wipe over and over and then get into a pissing match. If you want to farm, get your static together and farm, but do not expect the PF to magically supply you 7 other players. If you are using the PF, you are begging for others to assist you and unreasonable requires simply can not be met.

The thread was never a bout "nobody helps noobs", but rather it is about "no noobs wanted" and that is not acceptable. The OP started out on a neutral stance, but by the 3rd post, it betrayed the OP's real intent with the "stink cloud". Stop hating on the noobs. The unspoken rudeness is why people think it is ok ot hate on the noobs.
