Apparently, new player means no one can look anything up anymore

[JumperX]

I got to sastasha normal with a person wearing green leaf and wearing crafter stats. The main thing a healer,,/caster would want it into/mind/vit. That is a stat that even in single player it shows you. If it weren't that they are forced to use a wand, they would have uses a crafter gear to look cool? We gave a lot (I mean A LOT) suggestions to this new player for their heals were for 25 hp using cure. Dps ands and tank got to get aggro and the tank got toeven get heals cuz the tank died at least 6 times in the last boss.

A agree with ExKage, I never understood why people think others have to know what they doing 100% of the time (having to look up guides for everything before you do anything). People that think this needs to be done do you do this for everything. Skip to the end of the book and read the ending before you start reading the book or skip to the end of the movie before watching it. These are basic dungeons not end game raiding. The whole gear/level can't dodge AoE is totally different subject though.

I don't think you have to go looking for strategies and guides for regular normal mode dungeons, they are simple enough and a simple sentence is enough to explain mechanics in a fight... if the person speaks your language and actually reads.

I just gotta wonder where you find bad players like these. I mean, its painfully obvious that standing in the red is bad and in ARR content some of the AoEs give ample time to dodge. Maybe horrible lag? Trying to connect to the server when its half way across the planet?

I suspect the person behind that player is the type that is says "I don't want to read, just give me the action! Story? Quests? I don't care, just want to kill stuff!". Sad too since once they get to level 30 a message now pops up telling them a job is available and a quest opens up right where you finish the level 30 class quest that tells you about the job.

It is a sad truth that this happens quite a bit from what I hear from people in forums and in my FC. Hopefully the person will wise up once he notices they can't get ahead in regular content down the line... or get frustrated the game isn't handing him everything easy and quit.

Duty Finder is the RNG of RNG; that my friends say I have the worst luck. 3 runs in a row on Sunday (or was it Monday) that I had Tanks and DPS geared a little low in Great Gubal Library. One PLD was in ARR raid gear (Syrcus Tower, some Ironworks, Dreadwyrm Shield max ilvl130 gear). Two DPS were max i130 gear with mostly gear you can get in Dusk Vigil. Another MCH -knew- he had poor accessories by having -THREE (3)- i38/i39 accessories but gloated over having Midan Casting and Healer accessories as well as the i240 Torrent Gun. When I asked him about the accessories, "will craft i220 soon"

That doesn't help the people who are currently partied with you?!

Anyone who is still a starter class past level 40 is just woefully ignorant and refuses to listen to others, I believe. No real hope for them.

Or doesn't understand how much of a boost being a job vs a class will be.!

I'm really agree with you, when I was brand new and I reached level 30 with my lancer immediately other players in dungeons told me about the dragoon job.
I think that most of the players in Eorzea really help to all the new comers.

No one's obligated do do outside research for game they play to enjoy.

People are going to invest as much time in to researching mechanics as they want to, and not everyone wants to nor should the game force people to do so, and it doesn't.

Quit being a hardass over how players have their fun.

I'm... not seeing how standing in AoE's to get yourself killed 8 times is fun, but hey. We play a game where BLM's will refuse fire spells because They wanna be Elsa. What do I know?

I think you are misinterpreting my point. Losing at something definitely stinks, but why not take the time to give a struggling individual advice? My problem with the OP is that they're getting worked up by their own unrealistic standards and making a whine-thread demanding that players play in the same fashion as they do.
