Am I?
You became a forum member just after you started playing and long before you made the mistake. Once you made the mistake, you did not just knew you had to go to the forum, you even found the right thread. Something totally extraordinairy for a new player. Judging from that I think in your situation you new what you should have done.
Does that now make me the master of insight?
Nope. Because you're having trouble seeing the point in question it makes you the master of sight unseen, lol
And knowing what you
should have done is actually still hindsight.
Just to fill you in, I first came to the forum after receiving a notification directing me there about an event so, yes, I knew it existed.
I don't usually comment on forums but this is kinda fun..
I next came looking for advice on my mistake because at the time the player I annoyed hadn't got back to me. I am not in an active guild so no-one to ask there.
I laugh at your comment about finding a thread and it being extraordinary. Maybe for you, but I quite easily found the 'search' button...
And, just to remind you, cus you seem to have forgotten, we're talking about how someone could possibly seek answers or advice about an action they didn't know was wrong
before they did it
