As a healer, is it my job to DPS? A new perspective.

so its selfish to explore the first try on your own but its not selfish to demand that FTs shall skip that experience? even on primals, new 24 man raids or savage: if i go in there the first time it will be blind to discover the art-work and mechanic myself and I won't give a fuck about someones time and/or behavior at this case. after all its a game I play to satisfy myself in the first place than on 2nd place its the random community - sounds selfish but thats the way it is. like I said clear and farm is another story.

if people, and based on your arguments there seems to be that kind of people, wait for vids before they enter any kind of new content... im really sorry for those people... looking vids of content ill never saw myself ingame before would ruin everything for me instantly... if you are used to play like this just to avoid yourself failing at any point... we should stop talking right here : /

As I said in the post you quoted; if it's regular mode primals, 24-man casual raids and 4-man dungeons feel free to go in blind. That content is designed to be easy enough for most people to quickly pick up the mechanics and clear it. If it's savage raids or extreme primals and you join any random PF group without knowing the mechanics, you are wasting the time of 7 other players who expect you to know the mechanics. Even if it's a learning party, you should have watched a how-to video. If it's the day of the release and you're with a learning group, then you can't expect anyone else to know the mechanics either. The argument about first experience of artwork is moot because the savage fights and extreme primals have the same artwork. The argument about learning the mechanics as they happen is only valid if the other people in your group are expecting to do the same.

(...) feel free to go in blind.

i dont need your or anyones permission to do so and I won't differ if its a new casual dng or wannabe-pro raid.

And no-one talked about PFs before – PF grps are a different thing, they are createable for a certain reason, if you are not on this expected niveau (exp,gear,progress) - its not your grp and you shouldn't join anyway. That being said how many people give their first shot on an ex-primal or savage via a random pf-grp instead of friends or DF?
