So, can we just ban damage meters already.

...the way you're reacting to my simple suggestion of just letting the party know at the start of the dungeon that you're new and would appriciate any advice makes me seriously wonder how well you would react to advice given to you ingame - and wether or not people really tol you that you sucked or if they merely stated that you werent playing very well.

I'd also like to remind you that they dont know that you are new. They know that a character is new - could be any of the other 3 people, could be an alt, could be someone who looked up a guide or someone who would rather not have time wasted by explantions for simple bossfights. I've met all of those people, some being upset and annoyed that someone would even attempt to explain a fight. So offering explantions isnt exactl the go-to move, at least not for me.
If no one says anything, I'll assume and expect that people know what they're doing - if they dont wan need explantions or leeway, they should speak up. Its the polite and sensible thing to do. And not that difficult either...

Right, sometimes people don't want an explanation or help, so they won't ask. Sometimes a party doesn't want to explain things, so they don't.

If the party cares about new players dying then they should offer an explanation. If the new person doesn't ask for an explanation and dies then so be it. Where in this scenario is it necessary or acceptable to be condescending to the new person? Is it because he didn't ask for help, even though he may have wanted to go in blind, or because he may be on PS4 and not familiar with macros?

You're approaching this conversation like I'm calling out people who politely offer help. It's been clear as day in my OP and my other posts that those aren't the people that make parsers a problem.

Edit: At my daily post limit I guess.

You shouldnt be harrassed - but seriously, the attitude you're displaying here doesnt help your case.
"I'm new and only care about the story and everyone should magically know that because I refuse to communicate with them" is setting yourself up for failure and wont win you much sympathy.

This is mostly just crap you've made up, and you act like it justifies harassment. Honestly, so what if the new player didn't ask for help; he may not have even wanted it. That's a not a valid point. And honestly, if the content is still EASILY clearable, who cares if they're under-performing? Again, just another flimsy justification for harassing people.

You say it's not right to harass people, but in the same breath throw all these flimsy rationalizations trying to fault the new player for the crappy way many of them are treated. It's dumb.

Also, just to sum up, I'm not really surprised that most of the responses are just people finding ways to justify harassment and blaming the new players for any harassment they receive. After all, not saying "I'm new" at the start of a dungeon is clearly asking for it. The attitude here is disappointingly exactly what I expected. I can tell this community is going to be a lot of fun going forward. Can't wait.
