Savage guides are a nuisance (when posted this early)

I play for fun. Looking up everything before I even start isn't. It's that simple. Some people have such a warped view of what playing a game is it's comical.

I think the ones I hate the most is when they're like "fresh not blind please watch video"...

Savage can still be fun even if you know the moves to the dance because then you have the practice to perfect the moves to the dance. Blind prog is also fun. I did that last week with my static. I've progged ahead of them so this week I'm helping them with weak spots if they want help or helping preserve their blind experience if they don't. But it doesn't mean I'm having any less fun because I'm working with them on a fight I know and cleared.

The thing about fun is that it's highly subjective. The fights in FFXIV are choreographed dances and not everyone is able to figure out the steps on their own. Unless the fight design changes to make things more unpredictable, guides will be the way to go. Failing over and over because you don't get an obscure mechanic is something a lot of people, myself included, don't enjoy.

The static that I'm in likes to watch different guides and then pick and choose, sometimes also modify, until we find a strat that works for us and I wouldn't have it any other way.
