However, give it a little while and people start to not listen. You can wipe, someone explain the mechanics and they ignore you. It is a weird shift in mentality which does almost seem close to, I don't want to learn the fight, I want you to carry me through it.
While being anecdotal myself, I also witnessed something similar on where I'm playing. First week of patch implementation has always been the golden period. As time goes by, there goes people's patience against the newcomer AND the newcomer's receptiveness against advices as well. Things like "this fight sucks :/" gets thrown a lot in the chat, sometimes even after being told how to perform certain mechanics.
