Stop lying to your groups

[Cobayn]

I tell people if I'm new and I've yet to encounter someone not willing to give me at least a quick rundown. For the same reason you stated: I don't want to be dead weight to the team. I hate the thought of being carried. I wouldn't learn anything AND I wouldn't be able to teach anyone else when it's my turn to give the rundown.

The reason a lot of people lie about knowing a dungeon is the stigma that's attached to not knowing something. In life in general. As if it was the biggest crime you could commit. Knowledge is not innate, we all gotta learn something at some point. But others can give you a hard time about it. You're a noob, a rookie, a greenhorn...

Shame cause spending 1-2 minutes explaining will save you a lot of time overall. If you think about it, every time you explain a run to someone, that person will in turn be able to explain it to others who will themselves be able to do the same. Snowball effect. You end up less likely to meet people who don't know. And it could be because you took time to explain it to one particular person.

If you don't care to explain, if you don't care to learn, well, pay for it.

To me that's a given.


EDIT: Yknow, I realised I kinda pointed the finger at those who already know, but won't share. That still stands, but I'd like to add that if you don't go on the interwebs and look for guides to AT LEAST get SOME idea of what you're getting yourself into, you're just as bad. Again a little work on both sides saves a lot of troubles.
