To the people giving him tips and telling him to watch videos and whatnot:
That is absolutely not the issue. I’m not as old as he but I definitely understand the struggle. And I have actually completed raid seals. For some people, it just comes easier and more naturally than for others. For me, it took about 20 runs to learn all the roles in all the encounters in a raid properly. And the pain I had to endure throughout those runs resembles very much what OP describes. A lot of people are awful at explaining stuff too. I sat by and listened to Sherpas explaining raids that I knew to new players and I thought “Ok, I know the raid and even I find that confusing”. And the openness and tolerance towards people wanting to learn takes a very quick turn when they don’t get it after the first two attempts. It’s a bad experience.
And OP is part of the BY FAR largest group of this community. Unfortunately, the difficultly is dictated by streamers who want to make money with tutorials. So it has gotten to a point where you cannot play the game without using YouTube. I hope you all realise that YouTube is not a part of this game. Nor is sitting through half an hour of build crafting explanations before you can even join a post.
This game disregards most of its players and then they wonder why the numbers are down.

Exactly agree Shame Bungie has ignored players like this for 10 yrs and continues designing the game away from that group and now more players are leaving everyday.

You're missing the point. He's complaining about something he got himself into. He started an activity that he had no idea of. Instead of realising that Rome wasn't built on a day he chose to complain. We've all done dumb stuff in the game when we were new to it. I joined a Zero Hour team without having the pre-quest done or tried a run of Whisper without knowing the way...and it took me forever to leave the first room. And that's fine - it's a game after all. But instead of drawing the right conclusion OP instead opted to play the victim. Imagine complaining about something as trivial as a video game.
