Or it might be someone who doesnt want an explantion either for blind running purposes or because they're confident enough that they can figure out mechanics on the go - lets be honest: most dungeon boss fights are super simple.
Your party also wont know if you're running a certain dunegon on a class that you just picked up or havent played in a while.
I'm not advicing you to ask for an explantion before every boss-fight, I'm advicing you to greet your party at the start of the dungeon with "Hey, first time doing this, any pointers would be appericiated!" so they know to actually give them.
In my experience communication with your party is key and can prevent or solve fights.
You expect other people to explain things to you - is it really that unreasonble that someone might expect you to ask for that explantion?

I have seen MSQ-dungeons wipe btw. Often enough even after explantions had been given.
Politely announcing you're new and asking for advice is fine. It isn't necessary in low level content, however, and most of the time it'll just be ignored. It does speak volumes about this community that this is where you place the responsibility for mitigating fights. I personally would just prefer veteran players not be uselessly condescending in low level content to new players, but whatever.

I think you know the kinds of veteran players I'm talking about; basically the kinds that insult new players for no serious reason. "Hi, I'm new" isn't going to be what magically turns them into good people.
