A mentor kicked my dog!

I mean.... if all you retain from a video is a name... you sound a bit basic. You should atleast pick up on the flow of the encounter watching a guide and I mean a GOOD guide. Not the crap Mr.Happy dishes out day 1 that rambles on for 30 minutes for a 10 minute fight.

This is false.

You may not learn everything from a video, however, you can easily learn what happens at what time by watching a video. For example the boss rotation. If you are a healer you can easily learn the rotation of the boss by watching a video so you know exactly when to pop your strongest heals without missing a beat.

At the same time, if you are a tank, you can learn the correct time for a tank buster to pop your mitigation and avoid taking maximum damage. You don't need to be a genius to learn that, you just need to watch a video about the boss fight and have fairly basic brain functionality which I'm pretty sure everyone has.

I do this all the time. I regularly watch videos on Savage things for example so I know what the mechanics will be and I remember them and know what to do. The speed at which I react and do things increases as I go through the dungeon.

If I can do it, so can you, and person A, and B, and C, and everyone else.

Except you are completely wrong on some accounts. Some folks learn just by seeing. You can show another person 100x and they will not learn without actually doing it. Please read up on learning and teaching styles. There are many studies and papers written on this subject. It will help you understand that just because something is easy for you or works for you doesn’t mean it will work for everyone. So many of the responses on these forums are egocentric.

If anything it shows how little players could actually teach in this game. From what I read, I pray I never get stuck with most of you in any relevant content.

I'm honestly not sure if I can put into words how I feel about your attitude. Well, not without receiving a ban at least. Just wow.

No it's not false. I personally have zero efficiency with videos. Absolute. Zero. I learn only by practice. Maximum what can I do with guide - check Tankbuster skill title in some text info, that's all. Fun thing that after I had some practice or even clear, I can deal with videos then, because I know what's going on there since I felt it with my own experience (and even then I'm still bad with them).

And due to the fact I was able to achieve "red" diploma in University, I suppose that maybe I'm not genius, but I definitely not dumb and my brains are not "basic".

If after watching a video all you remember is the name of a skill, that does sound very...basic.

I generally learn things by doing them, ridiculously quickly at that. Yet at the same time I can learn a fight by just seeing it once on youtube. No one is here to babysit people who refuse to watch a video or read a guide on the fight. I don't see why we should have to hold up the entire party and waste everyones time because 1 person decided his time is worth more than everyone elses and he doesn't read anything about the fight and just expects people to cater to his needs specifically.

Especially if it's old content and there's dozens of guides available. There is no good reason you can give me for your time being more valuable than the rest of the party.

If you show a person something 100 times and they still haven't learned anything, there is something very, very wrong with that person.

If you valued your time you use comon sense and make a premade party if physical learners are a issue 4 u.

no one is making you do anything your just 2 lazy 2 go 2 pf and make your video nerd team. I'm not going to justify how i learn a fight 2 someone who isn't smart enough 2 create a premade party

I mean, I get it. But everyone is different and learns at different paces. Some simply aren't capable of learning at all in certain cases. It's frustrating to be sure but I think that people need to understand that their fellow human isn't always perfect and some are wired more differently than others. If it's a deal breaker then the person who's the problem can in most cases be removed or can be avoided entirely if properly filtered through the Party Finder.

And what if there is? What if they have some kind of learning disability? But still love FF14 and want to learn the content, Is that a problem?

It's not a problem, but not our burden.

I am constantly , unpleasantly surprised at how intolerant , self-centered, and stubborn people can be.

Your "standards" are not anyone elses responsibility to meet.

Yeah I’m glad I have friends that care about me and help me, one of my friends even helped me with call outs and I was able to clear all of the Stormblood ex trials, I might need a little bit more help than most people it that doesn’t make me bad, we even started farming shinyru ex and I needed fewer and fewer call outs over time!
