Or they could ask a friend, an fc mate, a linkshell mate, perhaps even someone in the novice network? This is an MMO after all. Eureka suggests you do this, a number of significant side quests suggest you do this. Even a few of the relic steps leave you with a 'go ask people where to find the stuff'. Is communicating with other players and people in game that much of a lost art that you continuously ignore it as an option? I've never looked at a guide, video or someone elses log to figure out roughly what I should be doing on my RDM. In my case I just looked at the tooltips and did some simple math. Granted not all jobs have it that easy (thx no dots).
I'm guessing I'm safe in assuming that you'd written the idea off from the word go and that I'm wasting my time trying to debate this with you. But just remember this discussion next time you try to suggest an improvement to a someone who immediately and aggressively rebukes your response. In their eyes, they are doing just fine, and the game client is doing nothing to suggest otherwise. But yeah, since it's not viable to give them a detailed break down of what they are doing wrong and hold their hand in trying to correct it. This is absolutely fine right?
There are a lot of players out that flat out do not realise how poorly they are performing. This is just a little easy to implement carrot to try and start the itch of self improvement, nothing more.
And another one completely misses the point. Yay =(
This is for those that don't realise that they need to improve.
