If your new to a dungeon.

Honest question...

How is it fun to read about every mechanic of every fight beforehand?


I completely understand getting your butt handed to you a few times and caving in and reading a guide (I had to have Garuda Extreme explained to me after a few fails). Or, getting beat by a mechanic and having a member of the group chime in with what to do.

I don't understand the mentality of hopping online before even attempting the content once, and reading step by step walkthroughs of everything you will encounter.

Why even bother playing the game if you aren't going to attempt anything on your own? Why not just watch walkthroughs of everything?

Meh, to each their own though.

I don't like having a complete guide for my first time unless I'm doing a speedrun. However, I do like a few things such as knowing at least the things that could cause a wipe. Since these days, everyone already knows how to do the dungeon except for first timers, they tend to rush things. So there is no "Oh, hey, let me scout ahead a little and examine some stuff before we start so I know what will happen and can plan accordingly.
