This site isn't for guides. While asking and self-answering is allowed, this is really pushing it, as this is very basic information. Oh, you're Retrosaur. Dude, stop trolling. And stop leaving the game early.

So you're fine with a question like "What are sprays?" and yet this question is too basic? Makes sense I guess

Nope. Nowhere did I say anything about that question. Try another argument I guess?

The fact you take time to comment on this one specific question because of your own bias against me, and you don't comment on questions like gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/264457/what-are-sprays

It's because I noticed this one. I literally started writing the comment before I even knew it was you. So please stop crying that there's some bias because you bring it on yourself, and stop doing things that you know skirt the line of what is allowed here. Notice also that the question you linked wasn't immediately self-answered, which is the main issue I took to this question, not its mere existence.

@StrixVaria And the fact that you presume this question is far too basic, when I literally struggled with the same issue myself until a friend helped me out. But you can sit on your high lofty chair and assume everything I ask is a troll post.

In fact, what I should do is every time you post a question, automatically comment "Wow, way too basic, DOWNVOTE, this is not a place for ezpz questions". Nobody on this site has the right to judge what is easy for one player and hard for another.

Self-answer is for things that require deep though, strategic analysis, etc. The answer to this question is a basic procedure, which is just objective fact, which is what makes it bad for a self-answer style question. When you're doing a self-answer, you know the answer as you're asking the question, so you can't say "oh, well, the question is fine so why not answer it yourself?"

That goes against the spirit of the site.

If you had asked this question and not self-answered, I wouldn't have even thought twice about it.

I had issues with this, and I asked a friend who helped me out

It was 100% the fact that you self-answered immediately that stirred my interest, and I honestly did not know it was you as I wrote the first comment.

I browsed on reddit and others had the exact same issue

And that's great, and that's why it would make a good question.

After finding the solution to it myself I posted the question thinking others who would have the same issue would find the answer and find it useful

I guess it's an "unwritten rule" which is a shitty thing.

But I don't understand where you can come off accusing me of trolling with a so-called "obvious" question

It wasn't obvious to me

That you, especially as a high-rep user, should give others the chance to answer, even if you know the answer.

@StrixVaria Since when was this?

I always post, at least what I think are, at least mid-high level quality answers

Since you come in and out you never gleaned that particular cultural thing.

I don't post bullshit like "okay you just find it in the mnu and goodluck :)"

I didn't say anything about your answer quality.

I'll ask about in meta or meta.gaming

The actual quality of the answer on your post there is good.

Sure.

I really haven't wrapped my head around this

I thought there was no issue with the so-called Fastest Gun in the West thing

or maybe I am mixing up the two

Self-answers are a special boat.

I know there are resources on it but I don't have the time to find them right now, so a meta post is probably a good idea.

If it turns out I was wrong here, then I will sincerely apologize.
