It is disrespectful to enter alliance raids without watching a guide.

My troll sense is tingling. Where is it tingling? That's a SECRET!

YOU KEEP IT IN THERE MISTER! Don't let Balmung change you like this!

Alliance raids and even normal 8 mans are so easy you can have half the group die multiple times on every fight and still win. You don't need to watch a guide for them.

Now if we were talking savage fights, maybe. But people tend to have statics for those.

No candy in alliance raids unless you brought enough for everyone.

JP DC ----> that way {thank you}

Casual content is not difficult enough to justify watching a guide. You can go through basically all of it with half the people required knowing what they're doing

Well I did bring enough for everyone...but they will have to watch me eat all of it.

In Eastern societies like Japan, people do not want to disappoint their teammates. Therefore, they spend the time doing research, making sure that they know their rotations and the mechanics, and enter an alliance raid knowing the mechanics.

Unfortunately, it seems that many players in NA and EU do not care about other people’s time. The common sentiment is that:



This is you putting your own enjoyment over 7 other people’s enjoyment. It is what an individualistic and selfish culture promotes. Unfortunately, this will never change because it’s engrained in Western culture.

It's individualistic and selfish to wish someone to deprive themselves of a novel experience so you can get through content 15 seconds faster.

You and I are enemies now.

I'm fine with some PvP. So...clothes on or off?

Uhmm I play in a JP server and no they don't mind newbies coming in blind on Alliance Raids and even in other duties. Most would actually cheer for you and even ask the MT (since in JP DC Alliance B is default MT) to wait since there are newbies and would generally do a ready check before starting.

I came in all duties/raids without watching a guide 'coz I don't want to spoil the experience. Yes I died a lot of times but hey it's part of the experience. No one blames anyone for dying in duties here.
