But the attitude that it should be expected for people know fights before they attempt them contributes to this, leading to people sometimes being afraid to admit it's their first time. I am always happy to explain things for new people.

The last time I was in DF Pharos, 2 people were new. One even mentioned having queued this before, only seen to first boss due to people quitting after 1 wipe.

I explained everything as we went, and we 1 shot the whole dungeon, with just 1 death doing an optional room (one at the bottom of the spiral stairs) which we recovered from without wipe, and I walked away with 3 commendations as a DPS. Just because people are new to content, doesn't mean that it will necessarily take longer, if you take a moment to explain things.
