The Heroes' Gauntlet is yet another misstep in the trend to make all content hardcore

I know this thread is very clear bait, but I know there's people who are/will be fooled by it and even agree, so I have this to say:

With regards to the necromancer killing you in one shot: learn by doing. Lots of things in life, not just the game, involve making a mistake and going "oh I see, I understand now" and then not doing it again. Not everything has a neatly written guide for you to follow. Sometimes you just have to do it and see what happens. Making mistakes isn't the catastrophic failure that people have lead you to believe.

I realize that this thread is an old one, but this attitude is still way too prevalent in the game, even today. Following mechanics is not "hard" let alone "hardcore". Watching videos to understand the mechanics before you go into the dungeon shouldn't be a burden. It should be mandatory. Standing in bad because you don't understand the mechanics isn't the healer's problem.

Please understand the mechanics before you go into a dungeon, especially if you are using duty finder. Really, it is less than 5 minutes of your life to watch a video.

Dungeons don’t require videos. The only content that would require watching a video would be Extremes, Savages, and Ultimates. Dungeons, normal mode raids, story trials, and even alliance raids never require watching videos for mechanics.

People are more than welcome to watch a video if they want to—but it is not mandatory to do.

How are the guides going to exist if it's mandatory to watch the guide first but players can't get in because they haven't watched the guide?

No, it should not be mandatory. Many players find enjoyment in doing content blind and figuring mechanics out as they go. It doesn't matter that they're playing the game for the first time years after the content was released - they deserve their shot to experience it blind.

It's not up to you to decide how others must play a game.

Hardly. Dungeons and even normal trials and raids are all casual enough that you can learn everything on your first or second pull. And even if it takes 2 or 3 pulls, that's hardly the end of the world.
