We Need to Start Expecting Mid-Level Sprouts to Play Better

[Padudu]

I mean reading your tooltips tells you what to do, sure a few classes like MNK can be a bit confusing to do when you read the skills at level 1 but this thread is not discussing accidentally doing celestial revolution twice because you don’t understand beast chakra, it’s absolute bare basic things like thinking cure 1 spam is a valid playstyle, or not AOE’ing on a DPS or a tank not using damage reduction skills

You can read tooltips all you want tho, doesn't mean players will properly utilize or understand them. WHM cure 1 spam is likely because they are fishing for freecure procs thinking that it is better than 2, 3, or the dozen of ogcd heals. That is what I am thinking anyways.

Some of the duties say otherwise, especially considering how many people were actually failing the Cape Westwind instance because they didn't realize they needed better gear.

This is just my experience but I've never seen people fail Cape Westwind, although tbf I rejoined this game pretty late so by the time I got the instance again, it was like a 1 minute cheese fight. In reality tho most of my experience is even with the leechers - you can just legit carry them through. Some people don't notice/don't care unless it's severely affecting the dungeon. Depending on what it is, it might not even matter. That's just a problem of the game being baby mode more than anything :/
