    See i HUGELY disagree with this "look up a guide" belief. where is the fun in knowing exactly what to do straight away? id rather walk into blind the first time and see how it goes and if it fails then it fails and i can always seek a guide another day. Really the only one i struggled on in doing this was Titan EX

    Look at it from another's point of view: What fun is it and what sense is there in having a party member who is potentially not contributing enough to the group because they choose to be ignorant about something when there is information available about it?

    If you can find a group willing to go along with it, that's fine...but you shouldn't be expecting people to let you stumble around more than you have to and possibly hold the group back just because you think about your own fun more than theirs, and you shouldn't force the effects of your willful ignorance of a fight onto others.

    On a pointless thread made to further(and then walk back on) a biased outlook, is any post productive?

    I agree with you, how can you look up a guide anyway on day one launch of a new instance, I prefer to learn it for myself,
    unfortunately there are a few people out there that will kick you for it as they have already done it before and expect everyone else to keep up when they want to blitz through with a speed run, and to these people I say that is fine if you go into an instance in a pre-made group, but using DF, you should expect to find people that are doing this for the first time,
    I myself like to help out people when I can and take pride when we do eventually get through.

    For day one content I agree, but at this point in a cycle? We're three weeks out from the new expansion and NONE of this is new content anymore. At some point folks should at least ask their friends the important points they might need to know. Duty Finder isn't the same as tackling content with your mates or forming a learning party in the PF. It's supposed to match people up who are interested in clearing the content without a lot of behind the scenes prep like you would see in PF or putting together a group. I don't think it's too much to ask folks to be a little proactive if they are stepping into the DF.
