No, I am not psychic. No, I don't assume that because you have good gear that you know how to play. No, the lack of message at the beginning does not tell me how damn bad a player you are.

No, I have to fear telling people I am new, else risk getting kicked out of the party by speedrunners and uptight pricks.

If you tell me you're good; expect me to go at my own damn pace and in the end, if you can solo the dungeon with your methods, go right ahead.

Now, tell me that you're new and I'll probably still get to the boss and ask if everyone knows the fight because I never trust anyone to know anything.
