    No. I'm sorry. This "it takes a village" mentality is just a cheese tactic to try to shift blame off of a bad player and on to basically everyone they've ever come into contact with. It's not anyone's job to go out of their way to teach other people how to (insert class here). That's not to say that veteran players shouldn't try to help - I for one am more than willing to give advice for classes and encounters I have an understanding of - but seriously at some point we have to hold the player themselves accountable for bad play. You can get so much information on how a class works simply by reading the tooltips on your skills, yet so many people (and it's obvious which ones) don't do it. There are many people in the community that go above and beyond, taking huge chunks of time out of their lives to make instructional videos for everything from rotations to raids and put them out there for everyone to see and benefit from. It's not their job; they do it because they figured something out and want to help others do the same. If a player isn't willing to go out and do 10 minutes' worth of footwork on Google to find a rotation for their class or a strategy for the raid they want to clear, that's 100% on them. The information is out there if people only take the time to go look for it instead of insisting on "playing how they want."
