Wow man. You should find a new line of work. If your student is stuck in a hole, asking for help, you need to reach out a hand and toss him a ladder. Saying "you're too weak to get out" or "you got yourself into this mess" is not in the spirit of education. I teach much younger students but even college kids still need help from a caring adult.

I'm in the same boat as OP-- I chose tactician due to the "special abilities" used by enemies. Now I'm 15 hours in and every single fight is a chore at level 5. I do not want to have to fail to learn, or search google to learn, or save scum to advance.

Bottom line: game attracts all types but the way it teaches certain types of players is just awful.


One nice thing about working in academia is you learn all sort of funny latin quotes like reductio ad absurdum, which applies to your example.

Its just a game and like college, is completely optional. If the game is not your cup of tea, and you do not want to take the steps to learn how to drink said tea, then there are many alternatives.

Another thing you should heed, is that teaching is a two way street. You have to put an effort and its unreasonable to expect others to cater to your needs (unless you pay insane amounts of money). I mean seriously... were in the internet age. You have forums, search engines, videos, full websites with guide, and the game itself offers tips. How much more does a person need?
