Going to the same route as WoW. The game is TOO easy

Who watches guides for normal mode? lol. At least, I don't remember anyone ever asking people to watch a guide on day 1 of dungeons, trials, or even raids in normal mode. That said, I have seen people teaching the mechanics either because they've done it or because they've watched a guide, but don't remember people asking others to watch a guide.

Why would they make the guides if people didn't watch them?

If they do, they certainly shouldn't be enough to lessen people's enjoyment of going in blind.

Considering how people still fail at easy mechanics like stack and spread markers I don't think many actually do.
Then again, guides aren't really of any help for the majority of the community seeing they still wipe to the easiest mechanics months after release.

I would really wish that the 'carry me senpai' mentality in DF would just stop.
And the 'kill for friend' trap party in PF but you can just ignore these groups so it's not as big of an issue.

Take a look at the Japanese Datacenters, there it's basically the other way around, there it's actually rare to find such situations.

Oh I agree most of the player base is bad. I just like getting my first run in blind. I also figure out the mechanics on the first round or 2, so it's not an issue for me. And I usually do stuff patch day.

No number of guides will fix players running off with stack markers in the 15th instance that's had them.

The people in the west are far more entitled than the east.

I work in customer service, I deal with people from both asia(china and japan mostly), and UK + france.

Trust me when I say, westerners are INCREDIBLY entitled compared to the asian sphere.

Watching something and then doing that thing are two very different things, i can watch Lionel messi dance his way through 8 players and score a hattrick but when i try to do it i fall on my face.

Sometimes i go in blind and sometimes i'll watch/read a guide but when actually doing the duty half my brain is trying to remember what's coming up and the other half is trying to figure out how to deal with whatever is coming up which usually ends up with me panicking and dying anyway OR the boss doing something that was not covered in the guide but the latter would be down to a poor guide. Every situation is different so you have to adapt.

in the party finder when i see things like "Watch guide" or "Show achievement" it just makes me anxious and puts me off from doing whatever that party was looking for but that's a personal thing and i don't expect the game or the player base to change to suit myself. To be clear i'm not accusing anyone in this thread of doing that despite my wording seeming that way...i just suck at writing.
