What's with the wave of new players that lack not only knowledge of their job but also common sense?
Every day when doing roulettes I come across new payers, mostly tanks, who don't talk, rush in, go Leroy Jenkins style, don't bother with flash or any other hate gaining tool, and don't take advices when pointed out.
I used to enjoy being with new players because it was a rush free, exploring and learning atmosphere. But now?
The other day even, Darkhold popped and the tank was new. I could see that because he got hit by the eye all the time, and was a bit clueless about what to pull or when. I said in party chat "stay in the light, the eye won't hurt you when you're in the light". Nothing. I was on scholar, and one blm was also new and got hit every time. So we wiped eventually in that room at start where you have to unlock the gate and there's many mobs and one safe place. A bit annoyed, I said "so you guys still don't get the light thing?" and we returned. I then say "tank, if you are new, just say so, no crime in that, just don't go reckless and clueless when you have to guide your party" and he goes "FUK U BITCH". Needless to say I left.
So that's what we have for new players? I can get the being new thing, I really do not mind. I'm happy to help out. But seriously, I do wonder if they are RMT or bots, they don't even ask things or say hello.
And the common sense... I get that you are learning your job, fair enough. And I get that you don't know the dungeon mechanics. I don't want people to watch videos before entering a place. But I also don't want them to play a vital role like tank, which is supposed to guide the party through the dungeon, and being completely oblivious about what awaits ahead. Really, please, play dps or healer, something that doesn't have the responsability of being the party's head, learn your dungeon, and then go tank it.
It's really very rare today that a new tank actually asks for guidance. And some might find it disrespectful when we as old players expect them to know everything beforehand, spoiling it all. But please see it also from our point of view, not only that we did all this already, but also that you might be disrespectful to us expecting us to watch you guide your party to yet another wipe, cause you won't ask or answer and want yo play it your way.
If spoilers really are so important to you that you MUST learn not only the dungeon but also your job your way, and you refuse to talk to your party, please refrain from using the duty finder. Form your own party with players like you, storm into things, and enjoy.
You play with 3 or 7 other people (not gonna go into CT), consider them and ask yourself if we all have to play it your style, or you might wanna adjust to our style.
