I think people might be too scared.

So when I came to SC2 and knew nothing about SC2 I felt lost and desperately wanted to be able to have some kind of mentor, but I was too afraid to ask anyone because I felt like no decent player would be willing to assist a newbie scrub like myself at the time. At the same time it prevented me from being too lazy, I had to figure stuff out myself and just play as much as possible to try get better.
