The number of bad players are rising!

Does this mean Yoshida wants people to struggle so people keep paying to play?

i'm not going to try and read into it at all honestly. all i did was send the person tells after the party disbanded and even offered to go to one of the camps with the striking dummies and help him on his rotations. all it got me was cussed at by the person i offered to help and then around 20 minutes later i was in jail for "harassing another player".

i still don't understand how sending someone a private tell and telling them i'd help them out to improve instead of calling them out in front of the entire group made me the one harassing them.

Well, as a relatively new player, I always try to ask for help whenever I enter an instance for the first time (or am just not sure) and I do read up on instance/trial guides before I do them. The only thing I don't do, is watching video guides, because I honestly don't wanna be spoiled :/
Does that make me a bad player, just because I don't want to spoil my first time experience?

I really love this game and honestly, most parties I've had were really nice so far, but reading this thread kinda makes me afraid of later content :/
I really don't screw up on purpose when I do and I admit it when I think it's my fault (like when I had this huge derp and pressed the wrong hotkey, almost wiping my party >.<). I guess what I wanna say is that there's new players who really do wanna try and get better, we're not all bad, ya know :P

YOU seem like the exact type of new player i'd want in a party of mine. any new player that tells me up front they are new to something and asks for help i will and have went out of my way to help. don't let the higher level content worry you. with the mentality you have of stating it up front i do not see you having any issue in any content. sure there are those random jerks, but i'd rather kick a good playing jerk than a polite new player willing to learn.
