I will say that I'd appreciate if people weren't elitist and are patient with newbies learning the ropes. I feel like this thread falls into the common saying of "treat others the way you want to be treated", if you were new to an MMO and finally hit the level and gear to qualify for top content and you tried it and messed up and everyone cussed you out for f***ing up how'd you feel? Like s*** right? That kind of harassment isn't going to make cussed-out person better at playing, if anything it's going to put them off from trying similar content again. All it does is create and spread toxicity in the game, because those players you harass for f***ing up will think it's okay to do it to other players.
like, no offence, but why do new players come into threads that's about seasoned players not putting in any kind of effort and think it's about them when there's zero mention of sprouts or new players in the OP or throughout the thread (aside from people strawmanning)? it's weird

no one but actual a*sholes will be an a*s to sprouts that are new and/or haven't done the content they're in, instead, most people, including the people you call toxic elitists here, will try to help and be patient with you to finish said content

people are a*sholes in this game, from super casual player to the RPer to the savage raider, that's just how life is
