    Common Courtesy with End-game Raids/Dungeons

    [1]Watch a video and/or read guides before going through it.

    Even an end-game entry dungeon like Wanderer's Palace could prove fatal in the face of players who doesnt know what to do

    Be more aware, the time you spent learning can save you the frustration of going over and over a run.

    [2]You are now eligible for it but that doesnt mean you are "good to go"

    Your gears play a crucial part in terms of clearing a run so if you think/know that your barely getting that requirement, use your time more wisely by running more appropriate dungeons so you'll be more prepared for the higher ones.

    In summary
    -Its better to be overgeared than be undergeared
    -Having to know what your getting yourself into is better than going in blindly

    Hopefully this post raises awareness so all players can have an enjoyable and more successful runs

    Or you know, people could actually be allowed to play the game, experience the content, and enjoy figuring it out for themselves. Maybe someone will come along and make a video of how to do that for those who can't figure it out.

    Or you could spend 2 minutes giving a small rundown of important mechanics when necessary. This is an MMO, you're kinda supposed to be social sometimes.

    Common Courtesy tip #1: Don't be a douchebag.

    Watching a video of a fight won't give you a feel for the content.

    "Alot" is not a word. Allot is but it's unlikely to be what you want, try "A lot".

    These are going to be your most common responses.

    "You could always explain it to the newbies"

    "I'll play however I want to pay cuz I paid for it"

    Problem?

    When the game launched, everyone had to learn from scratch. It wasn't until videos started being released by other guilds and Youtubers like Mr Happy that people started having unrealistic expectations.

    If you want things to go perfectly smooth, create your own group or run with your guild.

    DON'T expect random strangers to be on the same level as you.

    Common Courtesy: If someone is inexperienced, tell them how to deal with the threat ahead. Pass your experience onto them. They are part of your team, if they fail because they don't know the fight, you failed them because you didn't explain it. It takes like no time at all to explain a fight as you go along. really it doesn't. and for anything that might need explaining a macro helps too. I'm not going to spend time in the game, only to spend more doing homework on it later. Killed Titan and Caduceus without videos, because my FC isn't full of elitists that expect everyone to know everything for the sake of a quick run. If you don't want to end up in the duty finder with people who might be inexperienced, how about you preform a party instead.

    Part of the fun is figuring things for yourself sometimes....not much fun when you know everything that is coming. The most fun I have on this game in a long time was after the last patch and our FC went into Garuda Extreme "FRESH". We got to run it and talk about it and what we thought was happening to us and what we needed to do to fix what we were doing wrong, etc... Those are the times I love and have the most fun.

    The amount of bad players end game is staggering. Doesn't hurt to go in with some knowledge that could help you play better.

    Common courtesy: Don't inflate your item level to join a primal extreme group and expect a carry.

    Or you know, people could actually be allowed to play the game, experience the content, and enjoy figuring it out for themselves. Maybe someone will come along and make a video of how to do that for those who can't figure it out.
    That's great. I already figured the content out. As a tank, why should I die repeatedly just to help someone else learn?
