"Don't Explain; Learn by Doing"

[Xenos88]

I don't understand why people get uptight about explanations. I always give one to those who are new so that way its easier instead of having them going in blind. explanations work wonders and minimizes the number of wipes for the entire group. A little patience goes a long way in helping a fellow player instead of acting like a bozo

You don't understand why people don't want story spoilers either then?
Going in blind gives it a fresh experience, and full blind runs are one of the most fun things to do in the game, unfortunately, not everyone that wants this is capable of getting a group to do this with. I find it OK to have stuff explained after the first wipe, you'd expect that even going full blind, but ruining the surprise element really takes away from the experience, in a way that's permanent for that fight.

As you say, a little patience goes a long way.

Explaining boss fights in a dungeon or a trial fights are completely different then spoiling a story. I completely understand where you're coming from but I would rather minimize the number of wipes by just explaining the boss fights.
