No disrespect but that attitude comes off as a little arrogant and somewhat elitist. I prefer communities that are actually more willing to help each other.
Now, I'd read that as the exact opposite. The game should be friendly and players (especially new players) should be able to get help and learn the game. But that's part of why they shouldn't be rushed to endgame, where less of that help will be available, since the content there is designed for players who already know the basics of their job and role. Players should stay in the early parts of the game long enough for that learning they need, and long enough for getting that help you want to encourage.

Of course, there's still learning going on at endgame, but at that point it's focused more on learning the mechanics of specific fights. Basic skill at your role and job is better learned during the low and mid-level content. There may be a bit of final tweaking when you first hit level cap, but that isn't where you should be learning the basics.
