The problem is that we are not talking of "cheating" in the way it is usually meant, like only 2% of players doing it while the other 98% don't. But the other way around, 98% doing it and 2% not.

The massive usage of guides and the speed at which the new information is shared between players nowadays has lead to "exploration" and "hidden secrets" being hugely problematic to implement in a mmo when it comes to trying to keep the fun of discovering things by yourself intact.

Let's take again the blue mage example. When this job was new i was like "let's try to find things myself !", but the fun i was expecting did quickly disappear because of :

- having to disable my FC chat where too much people were telling what to do ;
- same with discussion Linkshells ;
- not being able to open the PF anymore to avoid to be spoiled by "this skill on this mob" partys ;
- all that for in the end being spoiled anyway when seeing flocks of players flying to the same place and farming the same mob.

Not really an enjoyable experience.
