Now I've seen it all...someone offended for offering to help them?

After you giving me the Third about my gear and we wiped on trash accident or not. I wouldve left your ass too.

Asking someone if they are new is giving the third degree? Some people are extremely sensitive I guess. But I digress. I suppose that answers what was going on in their head.

No, asking someone if they new is not a problem, how you ask is the problem. I look at the original post and I have a problem with how it is worded. Clearly what you did was a gear check. You say they have so and so gear. Then you ask was they new, they didnt answer but you didnt leave it at that nope. You just had to keep asking to you got an answer and that is giving someone the third degree. As a tank I dont try to explain anything about a fight or how Im going to do it until we all standing at the boss fight and always start out this is how I going to do the fight and this is what I want you to do, and then ask if anyone have a better idea if not lets keep it moving.

Social skills, you got to learn them. Don't blame your ineptitude on someone else.

Speaking in ineptitude,we where not there, we dont know how it was asked, nor do we know the entire conversation(s) that expired.
Its better not to asume either way.
Its not unthinkeble the new guy was.. the rude one nor is it unthinkeble he expected to be caried and blaming everyone else but himself that he did not get caried. Not saying that was the case, but its definately not unthinkeble.
New people are atleast as rude and as often as more seasoned players.

I see no issue with turning down an offer for help. If I wanted help/advice, I'd ask for it.

Call me a toxic player, but I genuinely think OP was being a bit pushy.
