I would really wish that the 'carry me senpai' mentality in DF would just stop.
And the 'kill for friend' trap party in PF but you can just ignore these groups so it's not as big of an issue.

Take a look at the Japanese Datacenters, there it's basically the other way around, there it's actually rare to find such situations.
Watching something and then doing that thing are two very different things, i can watch Lionel messi dance his way through 8 players and score a hattrick but when i try to do it i fall on my face.

Sometimes i go in blind and sometimes i'll watch/read a guide but when actually doing the duty half my brain is trying to remember what's coming up and the other half is trying to figure out how to deal with whatever is coming up which usually ends up with me panicking and dying anyway OR the boss doing something that was not covered in the guide but the latter would be down to a poor guide. Every situation is different so you have to adapt.

in the party finder when i see things like "Watch guide" or "Show achievement" it just makes me anxious and puts me off from doing whatever that party was looking for but that's a personal thing and i don't expect the game or the player base to change to suit myself. To be clear i'm not accusing anyone in this thread of doing that despite my wording seeming that way...i just suck at writing.
