Going in totally blind means you're content with wasting other people's time for no valid reason.

There is a valid reason. It's called figuring it out for ourselves, because that's what you do when you play a video game.

And yes, it's a waste of time, because that's what you do when you play a video game.

If people are so damn worried about wasting time, why the hell are they playing a MMORPG?

If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.

But in all seriousness, I am only saying that because I enjoy debates, as I said above, I often don't watch videos myself and enjoy the learning process as much as the next person. It cannot be denied, though, that using the knowledge of those who came before is an invaluable tool for all tasks. The feeling of accomplishment when discovering new techniques is no less so for having started with the techniques of others, at least for me.

Also, how is it "ruining someones day" if you que up to content you don't know, but make honest attempts at completing it?

The real problem with this game is that there are so many entitled brats who feel like, "one fail = leave". We have an hour to beat primals, but I've rarely ever been in a group that lasted more than 20 minutes. One or two wipes and someone rage quits, rather than sticking around and trying to help the group achieve victory. That's the real problem, not someone who doesn't want to watch a video showing them exactly what to do.

It's heartwarming to see some people with a grain of civil sense are left.


Youtube is free, people pay a sub to play. No wrong in spending game-time watching other people playing, no wrong in preferring to spend that time actually playing either.


PS: I've been in such a DF group once, OSUbuckeye, and we had a lot of fun and gained much experience during the hour we, all newb and strangers that we were, spent on that primal.

He's actually partially right you know. Going into a random group, you do sort of go in with some intent to waste other people's time. Because as the people on your side of the fence always like to say "you can't expect anything in a DF group" like it only applies to the other side.

Speak for yourself? Not everyone considers time spent on entertainment as wasting time.
