I'll reiterate (for what feels like the fourth time in this thread) the problem with more or less waiting for "permission" to give advice: people aren't going to ask for advice if they don't know they need it. More knowledgeable players keeping their mouth shut until they're "allowed" to speak is precisely why you have a lot of bad players doing the things that they do. They didn't know they needed help so they didn't ask for any. You didn't correct them because you're waiting in vain for them to ask you.

The playerbase as a whole needs to stop trying to mollycoddle everyone's fragile ego. Advice should be given as long as it's being given in a constructive manner. If someone wants to get offended or upset over being corrected, that's entirely their own problem, not yours. Someone potentially getting upset is a poor reason to withhold advice. We would have far less players wearing the wrong equipment or not using skills properly if more people just spoke up.
