Content should be challenging to execute... Not challenging to learn

[Sapphic]

Where do you think those guides came from? SE didnt make them for those who figured out the mechanics and wrote guides. Turn 9 can be learnt with trial and error (like any raid boss) and, importantly, observation. Turn 9 phase 3, you mention the fire, ice and lightning, did you read the debuffs? they pretty much tell you.

Thing is, as content gets older and more players learn the fight it makes it unfair going in blind to learn by trial and error when the rest of the party know the mechanics. Which is why players prefer some preperation work be done first. To get everyone as close as possible to the same point of knowledge of the fight.

The fact that most people watch a video instead of figuring out a fight for themselves shows the kind of pathetic instant gratification society we live in and it's really disappointing to see.

It's one thing making a party where everyone is at the same level and wanting to learn it blind when it's old content, it's another going in with 7 more who know the fight then expecting to be able to learn it blind. Not to mention, from experience, most who claim they want to learn it blind, first thing they say is "What do I do?". Which is a contradiction in the way they are unwilling to read a guide, yet they are also willing to read a guide written in party chat.
