    What to me also doesn't sound right is you saying that over me leaving on the FOURTH try, after actually explaining to them the mechanic they consistently failed on, when there's far worse in the game. People who insult the everliving hell at the 1st run and bail. I'm not one of those, I actually do try to help. I just can't help those who don't want to be helped. And that is not my fault in any way. So stop acting like it is.

    My disagreement with you is that they were inconsiderate to you. You found yourself in a blind group, tried to backseat game them, and then wondered why they told you to stop and ignored your strategy. Obviously a blind group isn't going to want that and will ignore your strategy. There is nothing wrong with leaving a group on the understanding that you found yourself in the wrong group - I have no issue with this at all. But there is a world of difference between that and calling them inconsiderate and not willing to listen to advice.

    I've been in that situation myself several times in a blind groups where the deal is that if you know the strat to keep stum unless asked, but someone just had to bang on about the strategy and couldn't let it go.

    Nowhere before did I ask or state that I was referring to people doing blind runs. I asked why people don’t read up, and join parties straight up asking “strat?”. What that has to do with running blind I don’t know, unless someone spelling the mechanics for you counts as blind now.

    No, I read your post and disagreed with a few points you made, specifically that blind players are unprepared or inconsiderate. Seeing as I was far from the only person to pick up on it, and you felt the need to edit your post, it might be that you err'd in how you put your point across. The example I gave was pointing out that you can spin it both ways and from my experience the guided Ex groups have tended to be the most problematic. It might not be an experience you have shared, but its mine.

    FTR, I don't consider players who enter groups and say "strat?" as blind players. But I also don't lump those players in with newbies who are asking for advice or opening the floor to you helping them. Thats pretty standard practice in MSQ content when people are new, and the game does not communicate the step up to extreme particularly well. In this case, judgement is kinda harsh because they aren't going to know how things work.
