I am not referring to new or learning players, I am referring to the players who are choosing to play at this level, and are set in their ways. This thread is pointing out the players who 'enable' this sort of behavior, even encourage it!

I'll offer help sure...if asked. I'm not gonna go around giving unsolicited advice. Players writing paragraph after paragraph is, frankly, annoying, and not only does it display an inherent bias, it can rob a new player an experience; to learn by doing. Naturally much of the "advice" given in chat I've read is awful, for that matter. Anyway, supposedly giving out "advice" can get a player banned by the GMs, if it's not written in just the right way.
