Most of the time, I don't care two farts about anyone asking for help or a question. Recently, I'm turning into a person who's prepared to be hated by telling the asker to search around the fansites. There is nothing wrong with asking questions. You may actually find someone willing to give you a truthful answer. However, it boggles my mind to know so many people are ignorant of the searching capability of the Internet.
Quest help is bandied about, from asking what to wear to the method of performing a certain puzzle. It's taken for granted that a wearer of the quest cape will know and recall every detail of every quest and when this person can't do those things, the help asker tends to get upset. For some, it's not a deliberate forgetting of details; it comes down to time passed between doing the quest and now that blurs the memory. Others will point the questioner in the direction of fansites, suggesting that visuals may be of more help than plain text. Other the other end, the player asking may also want the person to "show me" how to get to a specific location or do a section of a quest. This isn't always possible as some quests now hold cut scenes where only the quester can do anything. The fighting of Delrith in Demon Slayer is more difficult because the quester can't rely on players distracting the dark wizards so he can focus on Delrith.
Now there are more mundane questions, such as "what should I train" or "wut do i do nao". From recent experience, it doesn't matter what answer is given, the asker will always poo-poo it as "boring" or "don't have that lvl yet". This really urks me since it puts the answerer at fault if anything goes wrong. Is it really that much of a hassle for someone to look over their own skills and decide?
