    It is common courtesy to help new players as well. Not everyone can learn from a youtube video. I've watched plenty of videos on a fight..and failed horribly. Then someone explains and and I'm doing much better. People need to stop assuming that a youtube video is the silver bullet.

    We have 2 excellent video guide makers.

    MTQCapture and MrHappy.

    MTQCapture's videos are quick and to the point, may miss some things.

    MrHappy's videos are generally long and detailed, as detailed as any explanation can be.

    There is really no excuse to go in expecting to be told mechanics. Why hold the group up when you can watch a video like MrHappy's over and over until you have a decent understanding of what you can get without experience?

    Never have I been in a dungeon where an explanation from a player has been as organized and detailed as MrHappy's video guides.

    I always watch the videos by both, they are very good at giving you an idea of the fight, however watching and doing are two different things.

    It does make it easier going in with an idea of the fights and what will happen, but it doesn't mean that you are going to be step perfect, videos can help immensely, but nothing beats getting into the fight and putting what you've learnt in the videos into practice ... and it does still take practice.

    I noted in my post that videos are not experience. The OP went in for a non-blind run, and expected to be told mechanics when he could have gotten mechanics told to him by a video without wasting the group's time. No one is saying that videos can replace experience, only that videos should be watched in place of asking groups for explanations.

    Though its not wrong what you said and I somewhat support you in what you said. How come that some people join a bossfight and just think that other players have to explain the whole thing. Just because they didnt want to read/watch about the Instance?
