I thought this was silly as well. People started these shouts within a week of release. People started dropping out of DF if someone said they're new after about the same time.

Jesus Christ, you guys. How do you expect new players to 50 to learn the content if you refuse to take them on it? That said, something like Garuda and Titan HM are much easier with people who know what they're doing. I suppose they assume that's what DF is for? Practice? That's sad, really sad.
