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

Is it really saving time to assign positions prior to pulling instead of between wipes? Either way you still need to assign positions, and nothing's preventing people from going "oops i forgot my position, can we redo them real fast" and causing the group to have to assign positions twice in the end.

Also, choosing as a group to assign positions before pulling does not make a pull any less blind. Someone coming in to a blind run and trying to assign partners before we've pulled, because he knows partners are needed, is what makes the run less blind, and that's what I kicked him for.

That's some very flawed logic. The fact is clocks, groups and partners are a regular part these encounters. That's not a blind run. That's an ignorant run.

If people wanna stumble their way through the encounters like that, so be it, just make sure it’s damn clear in the PF description cause I want no part in a run like that LOL
