"Don't Explain; Learn by Doing"

[Jpec07]

if someone puts a wall of text in the chat before a fight i don't care and just pull the boss. it doesn't matter because almost nobody can read all these, understand it, remember it when mechanic A, mechanic B, mechanic C... happens and then doing all the mechanics without failing.

So you would put your own playstyle and impatience above the desire of some people to actually see an explanation, anticipate mechanics, and survive? Is it really worth the 2-3 minutes and probable wipe for you to head off an explanation like that?

The greatest irony is that usually, the people who rail against explanations are the ones who die first, and the people who asked for and presumably read them typically survive until those people's failures cascade to the whole group.

EDIT: I also really hope you're not pulling as a WHM. Not only is that rude to the people who wanted the explanation, but is also detrimental to group play, because you're taking damage you should have avoided, and are making the tanks' job hell for the first 30 seconds.
