    SE Forgot to Add YouTube as a Requirement on Game Packaging/System Requirements?

    So,

    I just got out of Hullbreaker Isle via Duty Finder. I had two new people in my group who were new to the game and running this instance for their very first time. One was the tank, and the other was another DPS.

    Everything was going okay till we got to the second and final bosses. The healer started complaining about these two new players. By the final boss, we wiped a few times because they were unaware about what to do with their green markers. He began freaking out on them using profanity and racial remarks. The one remark that stood out the most, however, was regarding his view of YouTube. He basically said "LEARN TO WATCH YOUTUBE PRIOR TO RUNNING ANY INSTANCES AND WASTING MINE OR OTHER PEOPLES' VALUABLE TIME" before he ragequit.

    After he left, we obviously won with the new healer rep and myself clarifying what to do.

    I didn't realize this game is so heavily reliant on YouTube videos now even for the easy dungeons. Whatever happened to actually learning and enjoying the game's surprises from scratch as opposed to ruining the experience with a tutorial video beforehand. I can understand for Coil, but Hullbreaker Isle? Seriously? LOL.

    Should SE add YouTube as a requirement to the game's packaging and website information now? I feel bad for these new players.

    Update Note:

    To all experience players, please don't forget that you were once new to the game, learning instances the hard way without any clue how mechanics worked the first time and wiping over several times - be it in Coil, Primal X or random Dungeon X. Help your fellow new players. It takes the same amount of time typing out what to do as it would spamming my poor chat log box with your racial slurs and F bombs.

    For the new players, please don't be afraid to state that you are new to the instance either.

    Its because games are made to be too easily so they can be cleared quickly so these ADD having arrogant little trolls can get in and get out quickly. Games are not meant to take time, effort, or have victories based on trial and error anymore.

    No, that is the troll's toll. Report them.

    Because there's people out there that think their own time is WAY more important and valuable than everyone else's. If these people have to spend one minute longer than what they deem worthy of their time, they rage and take it too far to the realm of using awful language toward players, slurs and insults.

    lol, its the same for all MMOs. Its funny, because there are videos out there on how to beat practically every single remotely popular video game out there. Yet MMO's are not only the one genre where its not considered cheating, but its an unspoken requirement to do so.

    Time = loot. The more time wasted on newbies, the less time he has to get DAT PHAT DROP YO. Welcome to the new generation of MMO players.

    Luckily, I find the tolerant players outnumber the ignorant. At least on my server. Still, there's always that one rotten egg which makes everyone look bad.

    This is the only MMO I've played where that's true, and it's partly the community, but also partly bad design (particularly in the case of hard fights).
