Punishing divas who jump ship before a dungeon even begins.

[Sylve]

You could be hit by a bus tomorrow. Do you really want to waste another hour of your life waiting for newcomers to learn the mechanics in Aurum Vale?

Vertical progression is the problem, not the player base's response to it. Forcing long term subscribers to repeat content they hate, purely to keep lower level content viable for new players, is the issue.

Well then, maybe you shouldn't use the feature that will randomly give you something you hate doing.
I enjoy DD, I also enjoy AV. Funnily enough, I like them as both tank and healer.

I always laugh at people who would rather eat a 30 minute lockout than complete a dungeon that takes 30~ minutes to complete at worst. Even with new people.

Complete agreement with this.

It's not part of my curriculum to teach random new players how to play the game. Don't force this on me SE. I'm tired of it.

Willing to bet you're also the sort of person who rages at new people for messing up a mechanic they haven't seen before.

You're playing an MMO. What the hell is wrong with helping new people? Or ANY people for that matter?
Why is it that so many of you simply refuse to give any sort of assistance to other players?
