    It is awesome when people offer to teach you in a game like this, but you shouldn't expect it from everyone. No one has the obligation to set aside time from their game time/life in order to teach a complete stranger how to play their role/job in an online game. You shouldn't have that kind of expectation.

    I mean I do help people when I can, but I also don't always want to be spending my time teaching people either. I pay my sub to play the game and have fun too and teaching others isn't always part of my agenda.

    People need to realize you cannot always rely on other in-game players during an instance to teach you. There are plenty of online resources you could use to further your own learning about a role or job or you could even use /shout in a populated map or use PF to see if someone is available who has time to set aside to help you out. During a run is the worst time to expect everyone else to teach you a lot of basics about your job. It's great when a party is okay to do so, but you cannot always expect it.

    Sort of like these players that go into EX Primals in DF then ask for all the mechanics to be explained to them.....I don't understand these types of players. If you were just going to make someone else type out all the mechanics when we enter the duty why didn't you just look up a guide online first? It's the same result and you can learn at your own pace and get way clearer explanations then having some poor other player get sore fingers typing out all that information for you during the run and making everyone wait.
