Doesn't take more than 5 mins to tell someone how to do it before each boss. Maybe I'm different but I enjoy teaching new guardians the mechanics. I understand the point of ppl not listening tho. Some Raiders won't ask for help or can't swallow their pride and it's annoying

Are you still upset that people would rather have a quick raid without any problems instead of having to explain everything to a noob?

Having done my fair share of Sherpa work, I'll say that it does take some time to teach someone a raid and even more time to teach a challenge. It's usually not enough to just sit and explain each step to them. Often times, people don't actually GET it until you do a few failed runs so you can get a better sense of what you are trying to accomplish with your strategy. It takes even more attempts to get the timing down. I understand if some people don't want to spend hours and hours and hours in a raid wiping and teaching people how to do a raid. It may even be that they just don't want to have to do that THAT particular night, but if you catch them at a different time, they may be more willing to do the sherpa work. My point is, people have absolutely ZERO obligation to do sherpa work or teach others how to do raids. People cannot simply demand or expect these people to simply be willing to take anyone at any time under any circumstances. This is just completely unreasonable IMO. I'll help people out, but I'll do it on my own terms and on my own time, and no matter how much people throw a tantrum, it's really not going to effect my decision. What people need to do is if they get upset at being turned down for raid groups, learn to make your own raid group. Read strategy guides, watch videos, etc. and learn how the raid works for yourself. Become the raid leader you seek in someone else. There is so much information out there now, all of the elite firepower is all available by quest, and max light is pretty easy to get, so there really is no excuse of not being prepared to do the raid and needing to be carried. I wasn't always a raid leader. And to be honest, I never even wanted to be the raid leader. But it's just something that kind of happened as my group leaned on me more and more to help them get through raids.

I've taught kids raids since Year 1. I still teach kids how to do some parts of raids. That said, it is Year 3. Every single raid has a tutorial for each fight and each challenge on YouTube. I'm tired of incompetent guardians joining my fireteam, lying to me and saying they know what to do, and expecting the rest of the team to carry them. Quite frankly, that pisses me off. For you to say you're entitled to having your hand held all the way through a raid is pathetic. Put some effort in on your part, because the rest of us surely aren't gonna carry you anymore in Year 3. Git gud kid.

I don't have the time or the patience to sit there and teach people the same thing over and over again. It gets frustrating when people die from the same circumstances. I have no problem teaching sensible people but that hardly seems to be the case most of the time. People are too prideful to admit they need help or don't know what they're doing. If I try to correct someone's behavior, they say, "yeah man, I know that." Instead of just taking the criticism and realizing they are at fault. Not to mention that people are less than thankful when you go out of your way to help them succeed. Out of the the last 10 completions I have, only one team thanked me & that was on Atheon challenge when we managed to finish 2 minutes before reset. I'm tired of the community thinking they're entitled to success. I'm also tired of them taking up my time with no appreciation of what my friends and I bring to the table as far as experience. So most of the time as of recent I just want to get the shit done, it's more fun nowadays to finish in reasonable time than to teach people who already think they know it all. I used to have a blast teaching people but ever since the release of the Rise of Iron, the community has become arrogant & entitled & it's no longer fun to try and teach those types of people. The only raids I was ever mentored on were Vault and Crota when I first started and I was very grateful & appreciative of the people that took their time to make sure I succeeded, I still remember who those people were. A lot of this community is toxic and everyone thinks they know every part of every raid, until it comes to time hold relic, gaze, sword, aura & spark.

Why do people tag them self as 'sherpa' then ask for experienced players no newbies. Is 'sherpa some new elitist status tag?

People can spend their time how they want to. If someone wants to explain something they can, if they'd rather take the time it would take to explain said activity on finding someone else they can do that as well. Stick to managing your own time instead of worrying about how others choose to spend their time.

Got through my first 3 raids last week and then decided to help out some others. 42 wipes at templar one time and 63 wipes at atheon without ever beating either. I offered to take some of the people who had never done a raid through normal so they could at least have an understanding of the mechanics, but they wanted the emblem/loot and didn't care that they were hindering their team with inexperience. If people don't want to take the time to learn normal mode or watch a video, they shouldn't expect others to use their time to struggle bus carry them through a raid.

I will happily teach sensible, listening people. I refuse to teach people who won't learn/squeak that they know a better strategy from their favourite Youtuber. I want to get challenges done without hassle. If I see that our team is struggling but improving, then I'll stay. If there's no chance that we'll beat it....
