Just a dumb concern of mine...

Why do you let that affect yourself though?
If you dont wanna watch a guide on day one, you can set up a PF for a blind run a month later and see if there are (enough) people enjoying the game the same way you do - or you outright surrond yourself with such people.

I was merely quoting an extreme situation of the "know fight or kick" parade that happens relatively rarely, but often enough that it is rather enlightening to acknowledge that part of that player base exist (stating the obvious). It only affects other players when that mentality spreads into other groups; nothing wrong with keeping your own rules and expectations inside PF, just don't expect everyone to follow those rules outside of your own jurisdiction. But that doesn't excuse people getting ticked at new players because "it's been 5 days, they should know the fight already!"

I've never seen someone ask for guides on day 1 so I'm gonna write that off as a bad hyperbole. What I have seen day 1 is people ask for meteor / last phase practice, or know until last phase, or farm parties asking for fight knowledge. Those are perfectly fine expectations and you can create your own learning group if you dont qualify for a group that wants to practice the last phase, what you cannot is try go force those last phase groups to go back to the first phase for you.

How would they know if you watched a guide or not? By your performance within the battle?, that doesn't mean nothing that is still an assumption. These people saying why should guide on day one just want to flawless run and I would think most the time they don't get that but that's what they want.

No mechanic is entirely new or those that would be new, just need you to have eyes in your sockets. I hate seeing people die to 4 year old markers.

Y'all understand that those day 1 "know mechanics, watch a guide" groups are just trolling right? Like don't take them seriously it's just memes.

How are people requesting to know mechanics or experience up to X jerks?

When x = days and not x = turns

I had some random group I was in rage about people (including myself) dying to mechanics in the 4.3 ex primal fight SIX HOURS AFTER IT WAS RELEASED.
