You have to cross your fingers that no lure misses? Or that every gag hits?

It's a discussion about not being able to get 'much needed' aid when you need it. It's not whining. +
When I'm playing, and a smaller toon asks for help with a task that might require them needing a TU. I simply say "wait here", "I'll be right back". Then I log out, and log back in with one of my big toons with TU. I tell all new secret friends that if they need help with harder tasks, don't hesitate to ask me to bring out another toon to help them out.

To me it's a matter of not being selfish to me. I'll bring out another toon to help someone else, even if it means not completing a task that my TUless toon needs. My 106laff Tester toon has escorted many pre carry 80 JB sub 40 TUless laffers through the factory. I've gone sad once or twice, and choose to bail out a few times, but what I didn't do was log into TTC and whine about it.

If it's the smaller less experienced players that the OP is complaining about, then they should complain about that. Johny come latley TEST toons who couldn't hack starting a new toon, and working themselves up to the appropriate levels is a whole other complaint. They do however have the same right to explore. When I got into Test, anyone would help anyone else. I guess the times have changed.

DutchAmerica,
If you want to really understand how to play a TUless toon, simpy make one. I'm sure you have atleast one spot open. Make one and play it for fun. If you've never played one, get ready to be amazed at what can be done.
