Why is it so common to join extremes without watching a guide first?

[Tiramu]

Some people need that crutch. Just like a person with a bad leg needing a crutch to get around.

Especially before Duty Support and Trusts were added, some people don't want to be the cause of something taking forever to complete because they can't pick up a mechanic. Watching a guide gives them at least an exposure to the mechanics so that maybe they can progress quicker to getting the mechanic and surviving.

Also gives a color blind person a heads up on if there is going to be a mechanic where they will have a problem with a particular dungeon, raid, or trial or not. That way they can give the healer a heads up that they will need to rescue/raise/heal them as they can't see the safe spot.

I was talking more an emotional type of crutch, of course disabilities are another thing entirely. But from what they said, I didn't get the impression it was that.

That's what I was referring to with the metaphor. Some people do need the crutch of a guide in order for the game to be fun, even if a disability isn't the cause of it.

Uh... You know, you had me at the first half... but no. No, if we're wiping this much in content and people still haven't grasped that they need to be mindful of other peoples' time, then I'm not the one at fault for not asking. Wiping 3 times warrants an explanation, because I'm not sitting around to explain one more thing if you're not going to get it. And guess what: they didn't get it! At that point it's frankly just being disrespectful.

It's not about being kind or following any code of ethics at that point. It's sheer common sense.

And your response to it may have killed the fun for those members by telling them the answer. And you don't tend to put forth as much effort into something that you're not having fun with when it comes to entertainment.

If you had asked if someone had wanted a tip for what to look out for for the mechanic that is getting a lot of players, you may have had more people biting and listening to your response.

I get you, and thats fine. I'm just the "at least give it a good shot first" type and dont get it.
