This game has serious free-rider problems and it's getting worse. A suggestion.

I am sorry I don't agree with you. Why can't people who have knowledge of this fight just say before it begins does everyone know about the mechanics. Would you say the same thing to people the first time this encounter was ever run? No, because part of the fun of doing something is in the discovery. If you are running with first timers and you have knowledge to share do it. I don't run to YouTube before each fight because I want to experience the fight. But if someone is willing to part with knowledge I will gladly listen because it shows a team effort and makes for a better team. Imagine if a NFL team never communicated and only went on the field for a game never to speak. Or any team sport for that matter. Don't get me wrong I have looked fights up, dungeon or trial runs but sometimes I don't and someone who has experience has spoken up and I have appreciated it to no end.

Personally I wouldn't want to mention the mechanic precisely because they're first timer. They deserve the first time experience without spoiler. A wipe? No biggie. We just redo the battle and at this point I will start some quick explanation if anybody hasn't without flooding the chatbox with wall of text.

Naturally not everybody will agree with this approach but this is how I operate. I just hate spoilers.
