    So who's going to teach us how to do 3.1 content? It is no ones job to teach players anything. It's the player who wants/needs help's (don't care if grammar is wrong here) job to make the effort to better themselves. Not someone who is experienced to snap and then tell them what they should be doing.

    If a player chooses not to read the tool tips for their job or figure out how mechanics work after the first wipe, then there is a very high chance that same player will not listen to any given advice the community may give them, if anyone were to try.

    The community learns how to play the game in one of two ways.

    Figuring it out their damn selves, or learning from other players.

    The game doesn't teach you how to play. it gives you basic information and you figure it out from there.

    Those that figure it out first teach those that come later. Or did you miss all those videos of content that people are expected to have watched before jumping into pf? Because that's what that is. Players teaching other players how the game works.

    Gods you're dense.

    How nice of you to leave this out of your quote to me: "If a player chooses not to read the tool tips for their job or figure out how mechanics work after the first wipe, then there is a very high chance that same player will not listen to any given advice the community may give them, if anyone were to try."

    Yes, guides are made, but it's not because players are required to (as you implied with your "it is the communities job" line), it's because they felt like making one. Players who want to be helped have to make the effort to find it, not hope someone comes down from their pedestal and help them for them. That's almost enabling carries.
