"First time here"

[EdwinKaiser]

Okay well, I was going to disagree with you because I thought you were talking dungeons. Then I realized you are talking about primals.

There really isn't any excuse to loading into a primal fight blind. Either do it with your FC, if you have one, or check the wiki / other sites on google to learn what to do and expect for each phase of the fight. Primals are a big deal, and briefing yourself only takes a minute or two.

Honestly, it's different watching/reading up on a fight then actually participating in one...I mean, having some sort of idea is good beforehand, of course. If you explain a fight to me, I'm not going to actually know how I'll react until it actually happens. Obviously I'll move out of the red spot, or if I see other players run to a certain spot I'll do the same, but otherwise I just need to do it once to get it, know what I mean?

You should be grateful for those that know they have to say "first time here" in CM/AK. Some just don't think they need to. And no, I can't spend a minute explaining, no, not even half a minute explaining because they pull everything in 10 seconds before I finish typing anything.

As for HM Ifrit, it's still somewhat forgivable if they say it's their first time coz not all players have clue what Hard Mode means, or to what extent the hard is supposed to be. The ones that played WoW, will have some expectation to difficulty when they see the work "Hard" in front of a dungeon and go watch youtube automatically, because it's mostly like overall less time consuming to watch once, then one shot the boss, than having to wipe 20 times then know what's going on. Well that's unless if you reach the dungeons faster than youtube vids of course, then you have no choice but do progession mode and wipe and learn. If you are not THAT fast, then please go watch youtube.

I'm of two opinions of this.

1) Players should have the basic decency to upgrade their gear to at least L49 on the right side before they start doing dungeons (iLvl55 preferred, as it's not amazingly expensive).

2) Players should have patience and understand that someone may be running the zone for the first time, provided that they've done #1.
