Unjust Kicking from Alexander T4

[Sartori]

I'll preface this by admitting that it's a rant thread. I'm angry and am just venting. You can ignore this thread if you wish.....



What is it with all these Elitist players who expect you to know everything about a run the first time you attempt it, and won't offer any explanations even when you make it clear that you are new, then proceed to kick players after one failed attempt for not knowing what they didn't bother to explain?

Welcome to the DF, please look forward to it....not

It's worth mentioning that some people are doubtlessly like me in that a video is a great help but not a panacea for all newbie confusion. Watching is one thing, experiencing it is another.

I am not a veteran player in this game by any means. I am an idiot newb with more months of idiot newb ahead and a scrub, a bad, any manner of whatever people want to call me. But for the content I do (basically everything but Ex Primals since I am too late to the ball on that one) I am fairly knowledgeable. It makes me sad if people do NOT ask questions because I would rather teach them than let them be carried through or suffer a wipe due to confusion. Honestly, from my meager experience people in this game are more tolerant of teaching than in my last game (WoW). At least Law bonuses etc give incentive to clearing things with a new player. The most heartbreaking experience I had in WoW was raiding Foundry and the raid leader asked if anyone had done a boss before and was met with silence. A moment later he asked again saying "You WON'T be kicked if you haven't" and only then did the new players speak up and confess they were new. I certainly don't want that to become the norm here. I know it happens here, obviously, but it seems to happen a little less.

Anyway, as for myself.... I think everyone here on the forums is a veteran but if you aren't and you are in a dungeon or Trial or raid with me, odds are I know what's up or I wouldn't be there. Ask me if you have questions. I've been lucky enough to encounter some very patient people who have taught me as I taught myself and I am absolutely willing to pay it forward.
