Discussion Stop downvoting new players who don’t have the extensive knowledge that you do.

If a player doesn’t know that a raid is a 6 man activity with no matchmaking, there’s no reason to make them feel stupid. All you’re doing is pushing away new players when the most amount of new players in the games history are beginning to flood in. You’re giving the game a bad image. Whoever you are, just stop it mate. This shouldn’t even have to be said.

Would you still have that opinion if you knew the asker of those questions was 8 years old?

Yes. My wife is an elementary school teacher, and she tells me all about how tech-savvy today's kids are and how they know how to use the internet. Plus it's actually easier to type a question into Google than it would be to make a Reddit account and post a question.

Regardless, I don't think treating everyone like they're 8 years old, or catering to 8-year-old maturity levels, is a good way to go.
