we need a 'school' that can get together and teach these clueless newbies what pulling, calling, etc is
We also can teach them GW terminology, culture not there isn't one 
anybody up for it?
Newbie School is looking for Teachers!

well would you rather lose a friend, and lose a potentiallyn good player with that kind of attidute or recify it somehow?

Well.. you could always try teaching him yourself?
I like your idea though, and it would be fun/interesting to take a look at. I'm one of those clu-less people who would benefit from it too.. but have the luxury of having my boyfriend teach me.

Yes it should be done. But if you are in a good guild, this shouldn't be a problem. Since many guilds will help with quests, and then they see him play, and they notice that your friend is just running in and doing stuff. Then they will sit him down and properly teach him how and what to do. Atleast thats how my guild teaches people like that.

I'm sitting down with him and typing out what he needs to know

Great for you... I hope you are good and know what you are doing.

I vote for this thread to become the official "schooling" thread. Post links to advice threads (how to pull, etc.) and if any new players (not nearly the same as noob) would like schooling in fire elementalist discipline, whisper me Doctor Slugfly.
Soon I will also be able to school for healer monk, but I won't do it until after I'm level 20.
ps. OP = good idea, people helping people.

Lesson 1.
Warriors: You are not the leader of the group. Please follow the lead of the puller, who will probably be the ranger.

yay, cookies ^^
live free...die well was from the scorpion king
actually, i fancied making a guild in the start that was about helping newbies, but since i have to get all the way through certain areas to get the hall to help them have safe space to practice grouping and stuff, i have yet to get that up.
so, i just keep at least one Pre char, and sometimes turn my local on in town or near the catacombs and answer in whisper some of the stuff i can answer
daft question, but, if your in Pre, a memeber of a guild with a hall, can you just travel to the hall tele style, or do you have to wait till you hit post to go there?

I apologize for the above posts of mine. They where my brothers. How he got my password is beyond me. Its funny how he is telling the other player to get better when he doesn't know how to get the damn rez sig.
Anways, Srry for the above posts. I will change my password.
I agree a school will help newcomers find there way around the game.
Good idea

Heres one.. A group of 7 "looking for ranger to pull". So here I go, being R/Mo, I joined them using longbow to pull. Before I start to pull, whoosh, 3 warriors go in front and starts fighting... ?.?
Why ask for puller when the warriors are going to just rush in. Last quite a bit in the starting, but lost in the end, one of the ring of fire missions...
Heres a good tip for the school to teach, teach the students: "ask what only you need, dont ask what everyone else is asking for" I say this because there were few other groups looking for puller as well, I might have managed to better play my role as puller in others where they need me.

im so glad someone said that...too often I join a group and the Warrior thinks he's the caller...
if you are playing a warrior you need to realize that you are a tank...something to take damage while the rest of the party takes the mob down.

I forget there are newbies still and will be for a while. It just takes a trip into pre-searing. I started hearing level 3 people ask questions like "where do I buy bags" and "Where can I get a capture signet"? I should have pointed them to guildwarsguru.com instead of giving them the answer. set them on fire so to speak.

I even see monks and eles pull better than rangers at times. People should start to learn what their class should be doing as a team.

90% of the people that play this game are awful at it...and 75% of that 90% play rangers.... I agree, alot of rangers don't know what they are doing. This may be perpetuated by the fact that the rangers role is somewhat unclear...from what I've found(I have a ranger, a necro, a monk and an ele)..the ranger is the hardest(of te 4 i've played) class to play in the game.
