Thus, it's always better to understand the underlying mechanics and how people fail - rather than how one group succeeds.

It's helpful to understand mechanics by looking at what other people do, but you won't find a ton of similarities because parties aren't necessarily similar.

My posts a tailored specifically about Coil, less so about Titan because Coil is literally the only time strategy matters. Everything else is dodging mechanics. Unless you a BRD or a tank - you need zero experience to clear anything in the game. All you have to do is dodge mechanics and memorizing rotations. Experience suggests a level of strategy.

For instance, we didn't clear Titan simply on the basis of tweaking the strategy. We cleared it based on sheer memorization. That's different and teachable. Regardless though, I believe people are best taught through failure.
Then people need to be given the opportunity to fail. If you cant get a group because you have no experience, how do you get experience so you can get a group? FC's sure, but two of my past FC's told me to shout for a group and do it that way a few times before we let you into our group. I'm in a good FC now. So, do you allow people to join your groups if they have not run it yet but have done a little research?
