Too many people take this so seriously, seeming to me to feel more then just a tad bit of anger that someone hasn't watched videos and comes into a fight unaware of what is happening or what will happen. I say unaware because unprepared I feel is an ill fitting word for this debate. You are never truly prepared for what will come. Only experience and time grants you that little bonus. But as to people's feelings, yeah...more then just a little vitriol. Back before the patch when repair costs were astronomical, I could kind of understand. Now? Not so much.

As many have stated. This is a game. Something of enjoyment and pleasure. While there can be the counter argument of "I need my enjoyment too! So why aren't you watching videos to contribute to my own success and that of the group!? ", I feel it is a bit of a selfish avenue to take. Yes, everyone has their own reasons for doing as they will. Some players like to go into dungeons by fly by the seat of their pants methods, and generally I feel Duty Finder is fine for this. But honestly a lot of this thread is not coming off as common courtesy. Rather, it's coming off as people expecting others to do as they wish. Not an overly healthy attitude to take IMO. But that's just me.

If folks are really hung up on requirements and enforcing any of their wishes, Party Finder is there to fulfill your every need. In that setup, it's understandable to impose your own rules. Especially if you are creating the party.

Oh, and Hitome. I did read over your stuff, but the basic matter is, you and I are going to have to agree to disagree. I wouldn't let it bother you as it seems it has. There are far more important things in life to get worked up over compared to a disagreement with some random person on the internet. *Shrugs* Don't let it bother you.
