Calling players bad because they're slow at improving...

[Vahlnir]

Finding a good BLM is like finding lost treasure in your backyard. I never realized how terrible most dps players are at the game until I decided to see the dps info in real time.

I don't call anyone on anything but if someone is detrimental to my gaming experience to the point that I am going to spend 30+ mins of my life suffering them I just leave the group.

On the issue of bad, it takes litterly a max of 10 mins to watch a video clip on all the encounters to expect in a dungeon or raid. How about spend the 10 mins so the rest of us don't have to spend 30+ mins wiping because you don't know any of the mechanics?

Outside of Extremes or Savage (or for some, Ultimate) watching a video guide is not needed. At all. The mechanics are simple enough to be learned on the fly, even if it takes a few attempts.

My in-game experience would say otherwise.

Your experience must be an anomaly of sorts then.

It's roulette experience. Not sure what else to say.

A few outliers here and there doesn't make this as big of an issue as some seem to believe it is. That is what else needs to be said.

And yet, people can't seem to get them.

Even Extremes can be blind progged to completion in 2-3 lockouts at decent skill levels.

that fails to account for the fact, that people DO indeed like to go into things blind at times, even savage+ content.
I dont like knowing an encounter beforehand so that the only thing that matters is strict memorisation and execution, i like to have to think at least for the first few things what the mechanic right now wants from me quickly.
If you dont want people who may or may not be blind to the encounter, make a party finder, specificy that you must have watched a guide, and do content that way.
Instead of assuming people in the DF will do that
EDIT: Welp, somehow i qouted the wrong message...

This exact thing can be said for wanting a blind run.
