Rather, OP would get more out of playing the game rather than posting in the forums about playing the game.
But surely posting in the forums about posting in the forums about playing the game more instead of posting in the forums about playing the game is the answer otherwise the OP would not have made this post. This post isn't not going to fail in allowing him to improve surely.CXu wrote:

I hate to compare a simple game like osu! to a sport, but the comparison works well. You can learn to swim just fine on your own, but having a coach to guide you along the way, relate to you, and give you advice on how to improve speeds up the process substantially. And you can't make the argument that "everyone has their own way of playing osu". Everyone may have their own way of holding their pen, or their mouse, but in the end, we're all clicking circles, and there's a typical skill progression that players go through, just like in a sport. MOST players are better off starting with low AR and then moving up compared to spamming HR when they first start playing. While this may seems obvious to all of us, it's not obvious to newbies, which is why instead of posting "play more", people should look into why the OP is posting in a forum.CXu wrote:

This post isn't about my improvement. It's about improving responses to players that ask for gameplay advice (and addressing that they need to better word their questions) within this forum, which is in place because I feel that that "posting in the forums about playing the game" currently isn't helping the OP very much.chainpullz wrote:

no but seriously how do i read ar10 at 300k rank? srs pls
tl;dr
At least quote someone else saying play more. Then you're adding to someone else's lame post and emphasizing it instead of creating your own, and you still get an increase post count from it.

Sure, I'll help someone who has at least put in minimal effort into actually trying to improve by themselves. When there are "how to improve" threads stickied, and the fact that osu! is such a simple game to begin with, asking "how do I get better at clicking circles????" most of the time shows that you haven't actually tried thinking much about the issue yourself or made an effort into finding those very easy to find threads.Originality wrote:

Unless you choose to go to college and major in computer science in which case "not very far" is a $70k/yr starting salary which some people would only dream of. And people wonder why their software breaks all the time...CXu wrote:
Chances are you won't get very far until you actually start thinking for yourself anyway, so might as well begin now than being guided somewhere in the beginning.

All of what you said is completely valid.
But if you're going to take the time to go and post in a thread about helping someone to improve, if you're just posting play more, doesn't that make you equally as lazy as the OP? You become the bigger person, and rather helpful by posting something along the lines of "OP, this has already been stated in 50 bazillion other threads, here's a link to a guide I know of 'inserts link here'."
Exactly -- put your valid venting about ignorant people posting in GnR into the ignorant people's threads. But if you're going to take the time to drop into said ignorant person's thread and post "play more", wouldn't it better if you told them they were being ignorant and lazy? Or, even better, just direct them towards a helpful thread.Philantropist wrote:
Just as people in this thread have previously stated, why would people bother helping someone who is already putting minimal effort into improving?
