    We have 2 excellent video guide makers.

    MTQCapture and MrHappy.

    MTQCapture's videos are quick and to the point, may miss some things.

    MrHappy's videos are generally long and detailed, as detailed as any explanation can be.

    There is really no excuse to go in expecting to be told mechanics. Why hold the group up when you can watch a video like MrHappy's over and over until you have a decent understanding of what you can get without experience?

    Never have I been in a dungeon where an explanation from a player has been as organized and detailed as MrHappy's video guides.

    I always watch the videos by both, they are very good at giving you an idea of the fight, however watching and doing are two different things.

    It does make it easier going in with an idea of the fights and what will happen, but it doesn't mean that you are going to be step perfect, videos can help immensely, but nothing beats getting into the fight and putting what you've learnt in the videos into practice ... and it does still take practice.

    Though its not wrong what you said and I somewhat support you in what you said. How come that some people join a bossfight and just think that other players have to explain the whole thing. Just because they didnt want to read/watch about the Instance?

    This is strange community. Dungeons are supposed to be learned by playing them, wiping, learning by mistake, improving etc... And not how some elitists want that people should watch some videos lol .

    This was in Ultimate Ballad. Easily learned after couple of wipes.

    Sorry to inform you but this is common through all mmos now...BUT i as a tank don't watch videos. If they rage i just think "elitist scumbags..." and twiddle my tumbs. As a Tank i will find another Group soon. The Fights are explained with a few Words if they are too lazy for that they should stop playing MMO's altogether. It's always about Teamwork and not "hooo my slaves go and do by my bidding....I AM YOUR GOD THE MIGHTY GOA'ULD"......wait wrong world

    Agree 100%. They watch a video and win, yay them but they really only won because some held their hands and made a video/guide. I always say to the people that ask if you watched a video that even the people that made the video had to learn it before making it.

    Then form a party with 7 other like-minded people who want to learn first hand. Saying otherwise is nothing short of a lie because you are going in and hoping people can tell you what to do. If you weren't, you would have made a pf to teach yourself. Please let us not delude ourselves. Watch a vid. It's easy, painless, and leads to faster clears.

    If you want to do blind do it with a PF group you set up or do it in the first few days it's out.

    I don't understand why people are valorizing a lack of preparation when it's so easy to do.
