Apparently, new player means no one can look anything up anymore

I just gotta wonder where you find bad players like these. I mean, its painfully obvious that standing in the red is bad and in ARR content some of the AoEs give ample time to dodge. Maybe horrible lag? Trying to connect to the server when its half way across the planet?

I guess this was more on Chimera and if I remember correctly it doesn't have much of the red aoe markers. Yes it tells you on the screen the very first time that it's eye changed colour after that you have to watch the chat log or watch the mob. If the new player is waiting for the next message to pop up on screen then yes there will be a problem.

If I recall correctly, Chimera has the Dragon's Breath frontal cone aoe indicator, Ram's breath frontal, and Ram's Keeper circle ice aoe indicator. I don't remember if there is a tail swipe cleave and aoe marker but I believe there is. Its fire breath attack and voices don't really have indicators of how far or close you need to be. If the dragoon is that new it's possible he was standing in the front a lot like some melee... seem to really enjoy.

Anyone who is still a starter class past level 40 is just woefully ignorant and refuses to listen to others, I believe. No real hope for them.

This response is indicative of why new players have a hard time. Did you ask them? Did you talk to them? Yes, -this- dragoon showed some bad skills and there's no real excuse for when the game tells you to do job quests but it's possible they don't understand how much they are doing themselves a disservice. They might be new to the MMO scene. There's no hope because of vets like you who don't bother.
