How much do you expect from people?

Intellectually, everyone in a given game understands that everyone plays at their own pace, spends their chosen amount of time studying the game, and so forth. Asking more than someone's willing to commit is just asking for failure, and it's just a game after all. But in practice, you find yourself playing Guild Wars and you can't help but start screaming for someone to stop attacking Glint because she's using Crystal Hibernation, you stop attacking then, everyone knows that! And in extreme cases, you might even kick the person from your party like a bad habit, because come on. That's basic knowledge.

Of course, there are the people who genuinely remember every single scaling skill value in Guild Wars and would be shocked that you don't instantly know that. We all expect different things amounts of knowledge from players in games, so how much do you expect from others? Do you expect people to know the strategies of a fight before they head into content? Do you expect to do some explaining? Or are you that mythical person that patiently explains everything about the game, even after wiping on the same boss repeatedly?

My first goal in game is to enjoy playing with people so i will be the one who would explain even after 10 wipe. Dont matter to die if i have the fun before dying. ^^

I think that with any game as complicated as MMO's are, you should expect to do at least a little explaining. I mean, cmon, it's an online game. Humans don't just right click skill books and suddenly have this wealth of knowledge. In fact, I think that is what drew me in the most with FE. The help chan was very polite and active gms really took me by surprise how patient they were. SO to answer your question directly, I'm always expecting to have to do a little explaining. Although, I think everyone has their threshold, working together with other players is what MMOs have always been about. So I guess I expect effort above all else. If a player doesn't know something that's one thing, but if a player is unwilling to take the time and effort to learn it, then I have no tolerance.
