Why do people say its spoiling?

On fight mechanics of a dungeon, 3 people were arguing in a dungeon over this cause the tank was informing them what to avoid. He clearly already cleared it but the other two was crying up a storm, one tried to veto him out <which I hit no> and when he didnt get kicked one decided to afk, walk and NOT fight in the dungeon. Even had some complain in dun scath, why? A tip is always welcome to avoid dmg or DEATH. Why make it harder then what it should be?

Some people like to learn things for themselves, and particularly on the day a new dungeon is released, they expect to be allowed to. It's one of the main reasons people like new content more than content they're reaching for the first time long after other people have run it. (Given this thread came up on patch day, I'm assuming you're talking about new content.)

Then say it at the start. If you want a blind run, request a blind run at the start. People usually listen to that. If I get a, "New to dungeon" popup and nobody says anything, I am to assume the newbie is SCARED to put attention on him.

This also isn't just on new dungeons. I get yelled at it if there's new people in stuff like Void Ark too.

If you don't want to be told what to do when it's your first time, disable chat. You can easily change what you can and can't see in a chat channel so there is no reason people should complain that bad if they didn't want tips. After a greeting, just simply change your chat channels so you can't see chat.

at least that taught him a lesson. Pretty sure he will now think twice before explaining new or old content to old/new players. Good Job community lol.

There is a difference in explaining old content and day 1 content. Did the new Trial normal today and we had rage quitters after the first wipe, cleared it the 2nd time with no issue after we discussed the "mark" mechanic, however we all pretty much decided we wanted to just wing it and we had fun too. I actually find it fun to figure it out rather than be told how to do it.

It's day 1. A lot of people go in wanting and expecting a blind run.

It's pretty much the only day you can expect a blind run. At least give people that one day.

+1 to this.

Also I want to add, it's perfectly fair if people want a blind run. But what about those of us that don't want a blind run? I know I myself want any tips possible when going in to a new fight and I hate being surprised in general. I'd rather know everything ahead of time so I know what to look for or can associate to the explanation.

It's because it's fun to see a situation and adapt and attempt to survive the encounter as you are experiencing it then to know what's going to happen. It's like being told that a character is going to die and now that you know they are going to die, when they have their encounter with X person that suspense is gone because you already know what's going to happen.
