Sorry to say but I've already completed everything aside from T5, and you know what? That has been the only encounter I have ever bothered watching, and the irony is the video didn't help at all I ended up having to find a written explanation of the fights phases. So nah, I don't understand as there are no real complex mechanics in this game that just a few attempts don't fix(which is about the exact amount it takes for these video watchers to get it) unless the player is extremely slow learner in which case that would be the players fault not the game itself.

Nothing is really going to change the fact that until you have actual experience your credibility on doing well in the encounter means nothing, what's also very noticable, especially DPS is their damage is usually extremely low until they are comfortable with said new encounter so even if they did get something out of the video, they still end up slowing the group as a whole down and in fights that require lots of damage that's still about the same thing as not pulling your weight even if you're alive. But eventually they get comfortable and DPS skyrockets, I use dps as an example because these are always the most noticable. So I'll say it again, watching a video to me is the equivalent as just going in blind, as far as I'm concerned when people tell me that, I expect a few deaths and wipes. And I am ok with that as long as this is the type of group where I should expect it.
