The general player base needs to improve

[RiyahArp]

This is the problem with gamers of today, instead of figuring it out via trial and error they let someone else tell them how to play their job, aka they go to a guide and do rotations, BIS, what jobs are "meta" what aren't, what's the best for this or that. Millennials tend to rely on guides far too much.

...you know, back in the NES days, you actually would pay money to call up a telephone service that had game counselors that would help you through games.They were 1-900 lines, and companies like Nintendo and Capcom each ran their own, and printed the numbers in game manuals. Around the time of the SNES/GENESIS, we also had strategy guides start. Nintendo was so afraid that gamers wouldn't even understand Earthbound that it was the first console game with a strategy guide sold with the catridge on a one to one basis.

Not only that, but there were tips and tricks sections in multiple magazines like EGM, Gamepro, and others, and dedicated magazines solely for tips, cheats, and strategy guides. One was even named Tips and Tricks. Also at that time Galoob created what was known as the Game Genie, which more or less went in between your system and the catridge, and let you hack the game to give infinite lives, level selects, debug options, and even let you play unreleased content still in the game. You got the codes from the above magazines.

So really, don't even say that this generation relies on guides too much. One of the things that makes me mad is how people seem to forget the past over and over.
