Pretty much none of the people I know would regard that as help! And in their shoes, I would not either.

That's not helping them do content, that's not teaming up with them, that's doing content for them. They are denied the experience of, for example, doing Scarlet Monestary properly. And they're likely to get bored doing the same thing over and over like that.

I have in the past observed people who receive that kind of "help" over and over. Have you seen them at the endgame? If you've been at this for long, I'm sure you must have.

On the one hand, they end up not knowing how to play their characters as members of a team -- they never had to. On the other hand, they have this sense of entitlement, that someone should just hand them whatever they want. "Why can't you just take me through Gruul's Lair until I get the drop I want? You did it in Deadmines!" It's two great tastes that don't exactly taste great together.
