A complex encounter requires a concise explanation. A simple encounter can be a quick and rough explanation.

However, I will take pause. Your arguement has now changed from "not watching anything and being told" to "Watching a video and being told." which is what a lot of us were talkign about. I don't think anyone has issue with someone who watched a video and asks for any extra advice, because we can also have a reasonable conversation with a rough understand.

No one is going to blame you if you wipe as you learn. No one is going to be mad at you for what. What we were frustrated with, was the example you gave of the people who (Very often) enter into a dungoun/raid without EVER Looking at anything, and expect things to be HANDED OVER.

You keep trying to use Party Finder as an end-all be all, but let's be fair - if you want to go in blind, you can likewise use a party finder.

If someone chooses to kick you for not knowing what to do / being new? Sorry - that's the will of the majority, and it happens.

Expecting everyone to accept you and bend over backwards to accomodate everything about you, is the absolute pinnacle of a self-entitled arrogant party member that will ultimately prove to be more of a detriment than a benefit. It shows how lazy they are and how little they care for their comrades. All they care about is themselves, and attempting to thrust their ideals on 7 others is unrealistic.

People have free will for a reason.
