I do wish SE would get his YouTube account shut down. His guides are awful and they breed bad players.

Let me offer a purely neutral perspective. I agree that the whole trail and error approach is allot of fun (for me at least). I would love to be able to do that for every duty/trail fight that comes out. But let's say that you are going into a fight that you know like the back of your hand and you are doing it purely for the rewards that comes with fighting it for the 1,000th time. Your party then winds up with a player that wants to trial and error it. Do you and the rest of the group...

A) Just go with it and eat the wipes so that other(s) have a chance to learn on their own?

B) Insist that that the new player or players be given instructions so they know whats coming since they joined the party and said "I am new to this"?

C) Tell the player(s) to "do their homework" and watch a Mr. Happy video or other video guide? (<---Some people call this cheating. I call it a simple manual to learning the fight sooner. Doesn't mean you have master the duty/trial.)


To put it simply, none of these answers are "wrong." But there is one very extremely important word that must be remembered regardless of which choice is picked:

CONSENSUS!!!



Without consensus, there will be arguing/rage quitting/bridges burned/devil worshiping. I always go into a duty/trial knowing that I am one vote among many and that like every party it will always fail if consensus isn't met.
