Quite bold of you to suddenly assume that I don't play my class right or keep up and hold my own just because I'm arguing that discovery is more fun than following someone else who already did discovery and took the fun out of it. Yes it's group content, but that doesn't mean you can't still play the days when wiki didn't exist and games were free to be explored.

This is the reason I never got into WoW after playing it a few days. It's so old and every secret has been discovered, every play style tried and so many users that you're just another face in the crowd. In FFXIV, you can feel important, you can still travel the world and find things others haven't, secrets they may have missed, find and customize your own play-style and be more than just another mindless player signing on to check a few things and bye. Maybe that's just because it's still newer than WoW, but it just feels like there's more to explore and discover still, and the game not datamined or played to the point of being repetitive.

But that's off-topic. Point is, yes, people should read what the game offers of their class notes and quests to the point of learning their play through the game.
But it is being very controlling to tell people to go watch videos and read guides other members made if they want to learn the ropes through trial and error on their own.
I didn't say not learn their class, I just said learn it on their own through mistakes, the way we learn IRL.
