Abuse for being a new player, any solution?

One thing about this game is you're gonna have to get use to watching videos for any fight. People don't like wasting time and get pretty upset if you do. Not saying it was right to do it after one try but if you watch a video you at least know what is generally happening.

This right here, I cba to sit and learn the people every fight for an entire hour, if there are SO many videos out there, i don't mind people that need to get used to the mechanics as they already watched a video. But someone going in blind i will just not like what so ever. And ofc, only for the harder content, Dungeons and stuff like that idc.

This is the problem right here. People expect that you'll be looking at guides or videos outside of the game before even doing the fight. I don't know how this became the norm, but this is nothing but horrible thinking. No gameplay, nor the people playing it, should not require looking up videos/guides to experience it. I've never done this, and I never will.

OP, my best suggestions are to grow thick skin. Be forthcoming about being new. Ask good questions about what is going on, so you can quickly absorb the fight mechanics. Some people will always complain. Let them.

So you won't read a guide but you expect others to type into party chat a guide for you to read?

ok......

This game isn't meant to be a chore for people, where people need to watch others do each fight before they can. What was fun for me with the Dark Tower & new dungeons coming out with 2.5 was nobody expected each other to have the fight memorized already. New players should still get to enjoy the thrill of experiencing something for the first time. If you're a good enough player, you'll be able to compensate for others being new due to your experience. If you need everyone else to be an expert to get through what you've already played in order to win, you're playing a pretty weak character. Those who give up after one wipe & quit are much worse than those who go in blind imo.

This egalitarianism lasted all of one day. By day two, there were more than a couple "know it alls" that spent plenty of keystrokes on complaining about wiping on the first boss more than once.
