And this is the rub.
I think the community would be far more patient with less experienced players, if they were both honest about it, and very open and eager to learn. More often then not though, they'll either outright lie, or lie through omission. Then, if they are caught, they often just want to YOLO it and learn through trial and error.
Honestly I can kinda understand the desire to do it that way, seeing as that's how most people learned the fights, "when they were still new." However, months later, when there are ample resources and strategies for learning the fights more quickly, it doesn't make sense to do it this way.
On top of that, not everyone has hours and hours to pour into this game.
If you only have two hours to play on a given night, and it takes the better part of an hour to put a party together for Titan, Ifrit, or whatever, well, it's understandably frustrating when one or two people who joined the Clear or Farm party instead are instead clearly there to learn.
Despite that, I try to be patient with people, I certainly understand the desire to make progress in this game. Still, there's a certain lack of consideration with this sort of behavior, and it's understandable that the community would become frustrated with it over time.
