Does it make any sense to play a mission on the hardest difficulty if you have no idea what to do? Why does this happen everyday? Objectives clearly listed on right side of screen but nope. Still Don't get it.

It could be as sirmayday says above.
It could also be that they haven't played in a while and don't realize the changes made to STFs.
It could also be that their strategy is to play the most difficult setting first, because it is then easy to move down to the lower difficulties.
It could also be that they're just suffering from the modern day malaise of thinking too highly of themselves.
Plenty of reasons, really. Don't expect people to do what you want, so that you can have an easy time of it; you're bound to be disappointed.
This is why I build to carry a pug if needed. It helps to have a ship that can do it all. 30k dps and the ocassional grav well is all you need.
It's not like normal missions are really challenging and make it necessary to follow strategies...
It is in the nature of a "noob" to defy learning. New players a.k.a. newbies do learn though.
You need a "good" team to give you the environment to learn these techniques. Either a good group of friends or a fleet that has events geared towards that. Send me a forum mail and I will be glad to give you (or whoever) more details. My friends and our fleet have weekly events to help anyone do that. Good luck!
(Emphasis mine)
Lol seriously?
What I meant was, there are few missions where people get a chance to learn nowadays. Most stuff in, for example, Infected space, is killed so fast that tactics are not really needed anymore.

then teach them what to do. i swear some people feel so entitled to their tripe that in itself doesn't make any sense what so ever.
we all have to start somewhere, do not forget where you started. learn to be more helpful, eh?
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
Agreed with this. Though I must say, those who need the help should also be open to it. Like @p4hajuju said, if only they would read their chat. It can be very tiresome to try and teach a team the basics of a mission when they all keep running around and don't even read their chat. Happens way too often in KAGA for example.
A comment I made in the thread on Gorn jokes:
At least this could cause less people to minimise their chat channels. I think that in most cases it's not that the 'noobs' don't want to learn, there's simply no way to reach them.
You forgot a crucial reason people minimize the chatbox. Instead of seeing a few helpful pointers about how they can do better the next time, they get someone flaming the chatbox with words such as "How could you be such a m****rf**king stupid n00b? Why don't you do us real players a favor and commit suicide already?" Noone should be seeing anything like that I don't care how miserable a player that person is.
Keep in mind, even veteran players that know what they're doing had to start also at being that newbie that didn't know what was going on.
It's frustrating, yes. Even more frustrating when you try to explain the objectives on what needs to happen (Hello CPA) and people still continue. So I'm the only one trying to get all the objectives while the rest of the team tries and futilely defends DS9 while getting stomped by the NPCs.
Silly guy...they sprang forth from the head of Zeus knowing how run every hardcore "raid" in every MMO.
l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
They could always google the strategy before going in. Or if reading isn't their thing, they could watch one of the many youtube videos explaining (and demonstrating) everything they need to know.

ps i pug 90% of the time,,,,,,its more interesting,,,:) also my chat dont work all the time.
No it does not make sense. It happens on a daily basis, people refuse to do some simple research first, or even run these missions on normal mode to learn the mechanics. However, I do not see this changing anytime soon. It has been going on for a long time, in many games ;-(
Suppose you could learn in normal first. If the mechanics are so different in advanced or elite, how about jumping onto the interwebs for a quick search on game play fundamentals in the mission of your choice?
Oh I forgot, these people are usually lazy and want to ride on the gear and skills of others.
Yes, the internet is full of videos and walkthroughs I hear...
I'm sure that @Corvalle posts above YouTube video suggestion provides videos in any chosen language
Perhaps they're working on their gear... that's why they want those BNP's probably.
I'm more annoyed by the tourists who don't help and don't know what to do in KAGA, are not interested in the mission itself and will just practically wait until the nodes are down to jump in the IMR just to get their Borg boff.
And as much as I agree with your statement that they're being selfish... wow. Relax. It's just a game. No need to start screaming or any of that.
Well, a very well experienced elite player, can actually do both!!!
