If you want to raid you should be willing to spend an hour looking up basic class mechanics.
If you dont want to raid, why are we wasting precious developer hours writing a tutorial for you ?

The problem I hear from people complaining is not that they cant find out how to play their class more effectively, but they dont want to make that effort. That, somehow, the game should be redesigned so they can aquire this knowlege through osmosis and thus be able to walk into a raid and perform well without having to put any effort into learning their class.

Hey that was acceptable when MC was new and scary, but it isnt acceptable any longer. We dont need to waste developer hours fixing a problem the community has already solved just because some people are too lazy to google "hunter mechanics".

"hunter mechanics" in google, 7th hit: http://elitistjerks.com/f40/t9274-hu...s_--_v2_0_tbc/

The other assumption everyone is overlooking is that Blizzard actually understand their own class designs well enough to built reasonable tutorials for them. The simple fact is that all available information indicates that blizzard have little to no idea on how to maximize each class until the player community tells them. Itemization is the clearest indicator of this issue.; but other problems like the threat scaling of ferals and warriors in 2.0, which were specifically explained to them in beta but still went live. Other examples are the various terrible talents that have no reason to exist.

I'm a card-carrying Nazi and I take offense at your suggestion that there was a holocaust. Too bad I can't tell who's a Jew here or I'd ban all of you.
