There are plenty of things that stopping people from going in "prepared". What if it's day one and there are no guides yet? What if I'm trying to avoid spoilers? What if I like going in blind and figuring things out on my own? What if I just can't be bothered to watch a video of a random dungeon or normal mode trial? What if...?

No one knows everything the first time and spending half the fight on the floor is fine as long as you learn from it and do better next time. The problem is when people fail mechanics, don't die, and shrug it off as something they can just ignore. That shunts the failure punishment onto the healers and leaves the offending player mostly unaffected. A more personally detrimental effect like a damage down or non-cleansable paralyze, or something would give people a bigger incentive to learn and would prevent all the "just eat the mechanics and heal through the vuln stacks" situations.
