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

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.

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.

Picture it Paglth'an lvl 80.

Black Mage in the party is casting f3 > b3 > f3 > b3 and on packs flare > freeze > flare > freeze > flare

Me: hey man would you like some tips on your rotation?

Blm: .........

Me: You know you could really up your dps with a couple little tweeks

Blm: dude, shut up, I'm fine, it's just a dungeon...

You asked if he wanted help and let him determine if he did. You were nothing but polite. He is right that it's just a dungeon, but he could have been a lot nicer in his reply. Unfortunately, you get that random one or two who are going to bristle even if you're polite.

People have a hard time changing their minds once they have formed an opinion. For example, see why-facts-dont-change-our-minds.

As a result, players tend to think their way is best even when they have no idea what the best way is. It's just human nature and the true reason why there is so much conflict in the world.

Is this bad? On mob packs I do Thunder 4> Freeze> Flare(since the spell goes off way faster after ice spells)> Freeze >Flare and mixing in the Thunder 4 procs from the Freeze (or manually casting Thunder 4 if it doesn't proc and my dot fell off) and then Fouls when they are up. If I'm doing it wrong please let me know since I never knew. XD

Pretty sure OP is trolling. If so, it's a pretty good one honestly. If not, it's very funny. Regardless I'd advise againdt biting, though I know people will. They always do.
