Honestly you were neither wrong nor right. I used to be the same way and my gut instinct was if I saw someone struggling I'd do my best to try and help them and explain how things go. I've long since given up here. I've played a lot of MMO's too over a long period of time and I've just grown to accept FFXIV is its own thing. I treat it as the Twilight Zone of the MMO world. A different dimension of its own different rules far away from what we know. In other games no, not very many want to enter a fight completely blind and are more then happy to either look at a guide or ask questions even on launch of new content, those I'll help from the bottom of my heart. Here though, I have to switch mentality to more or less if I see someone struggling I'll leave them be to either figure it out on their own or keep laying on the floor. Cold maybe but if they like paying their own sub to just lay on the floor raging. Who am I to take their fun away.

Treating your time in FFXIV as if you stepped into an alternate dimension helps to keep your sanity in check. Also yes, linking that weapon was kinda pointless, cos for all any of us know they may have gotten it by having a jolly good time laying on the floor and screaming at their party while the other seven did the work.
