“Precursors actually drop from creatures”
Thats just complete skritt talk. Anet puts a few on the trading post, and when you hear rumours of people who got precursors dropped, they got one from a dev with the contract that they have to say “it dropped from a creature”
To defeat the dragons, see the good in them.
Zhaitan reunites lost ones, primordus creates fertile land, mordremoth spreads the green, and jormag..
..jormag? Who's that?
The only more absurd thing i’ve ever heard was someone say “people become toxic thanks to ArcDPS”

A certain amount of new players think they will level up fast if they take their Level 20 character to a high-level area and tap the kills of a higher level player, and don't realize the game is set up to discourage that. I once met a couple of players who had gotten into Dry Top by teleporting to someone, and were all the way up on that high plateau with the vista and quartz, where they were being slaughtered by Inquest. After I rezzed them about four times, they told me they were only Level 40, and asked me to escort them as far as the Prosperity waypoint so they could get back when they wanted. I didn't remember a path down that didn't involve gliding, so just had them jump, and rezzed them again at the bottom. As we made our way to the waypoint, they enthusiastically attacked every dust mite and devourer along the way, and with a Level 80 escorting them, they survived some of it. They were quite shocked and outraged when we reached the waypoint and they discovered they had gained NO XP at all for those kills.

They actually do have a miniscule chance to drop from creatures, and players in my guild have gotten them that way. The bit about Anet putting them on the TP is absurd.
Before they added collections, most came from the MF by tossing in 4 rares or 4 exotics. Since release I've gotten 5 precursors that way, and I usually try upconverts with lower value level 75+ rares & exotics about 3 to 5 times a week on average. I got 1 other pre from a PvP rank-up chest so they can come from those as well. So there are various ways to get them in game, but the odds are really, really low.

It is absurd. There are some things in the game I will never be able to do, there are things others will not be able to. There could be any number of reasons why someone cannot accomplish something; physical limitations, time constraints, etc, and even with trying over and over, I or they may still not complete it. To have someone automatically conclude that the reason is because they are not good or need to learn to play is dismissive and callous.

That's just being silly. Mobs can drop them, or at least they did at one time. I haven't heard of anyone getting one from a mob drop recently, but at least during the first few years a few people got them that way.

After suggesting that they use a nearby crafting station to access their bank:
"I don't have crafting trained on any of my characters, so I can't access those."
After finally convincing them to try it anyways:
"Wow, I never knew I could access my bank from this. Even the materials! Just a sec while I deposit those too."
After asking about why they don't just use the Deposit All option for mats, then realizing they don't know what I'm talking about, and finally explaining there's the Deposit All option under the gear symbol above the inventory window, or they could right click to deposit a selected stack of mats in their inventory:

To be fair, you have to buy the PoF expansion to have access to these unlockable mounts.

To be fair, every MMO includes "pay to win elements" in expansions, as in expansions raise your level and thus make you more powerful. Expansions were never factored into pay to win ever, in any MMO. No one calls WoW pay to win, even though without buying the new expansion you're behind in power. Expansions are your buy in for the game. Cash shop purchases are pay to win if you can buy power.

This isn't remotely true. There have even been a few examples saved to video.
It's a pretty common situation when drop rates are a million to one: most people won't get the drop, a tiny number of players will.

I've had a precursor drop from a creature and my wife has had two. One was from a ogre in WvW. They can drop from anything that can drop an exotic 80.

I came from GuildWars1, so the bank was named "Xunlai chest", I played a free account manually leveling to 80, very slowly, never could figure out where the Xunlai chest was, I used the deposit all, but due to limited bag space, no Trading post, I deleted black lion tickets/scraps, a ton of random things, someone showed me where the bank was after I was level 80, was nice finding all those mats.

From this perspective. But I see another point here: Overcome a challenge. Without learning a pattern or some rules, you won't be able. Learning something is a general rule in life. You could argument that you don't like to learn during leisure time but what I see is a development in gaming in general that everything has to be served on a silver platter. People feel eligible to get everything they want without any hassle or 'work'. I remember playing games back in the 90ies and I couldn't finish a lot of games on all those consoles, but if I did I had the feeling of achievement and joy to finally overcome the intricacies. This is - for me - an important part of gaming: the challenge. Not always and I surely don't need it anytime. But a game can't serve every purpose and every need.
As of short: git gud etc. is absolutely true: people are lazy and don't want to learn anything and they want it fast without hassle. And that's why games get toned down and get streamlined which I think is the downfall of gaming in general. At least there are a lot of indie games which do the opposite. Also, there are a lot of videos from noobs playing Dark Souls and overcome the hardest parts in the game out of will, and that's a great thing.
