    I get what you are saying, but at the same time, what you get in DF is what you get. The only 100% way to ensure you get what you want would be to form a PF group indicating exactly what the group is. I realize the patch is new, so your chances of getting someone who has already done the fight increases as the day goes on, but I'm failing to see exactly what rule was broken in them giving out fight info.

    Someone doesn't have to break a rule to get added to someone's blacklist. Sometimes it's just that said person doesn't want to see anything from them. I'd just like to see them add waymarks since there's no way to avoid those currently. So this way we can be proactive about preserving our experience.

    And Misplaced_Marbles, it's Day One. People just want a fair chance at figuring things out. Nobody asked for a dorito.

    Oh you adding them to your blacklist is not up for debate. You are entitled to add whomever you want to that list. Just so we are clear, I'm not one to offer strats unless someone asks. That is why I've wiped a few times in the new dungeon / trial so that people can see it for themselves. However, since DF is whatever you get (Good, bad, whatever), I'm of the opinion that you are at the mercy of whatever happens. Again, the only way to almost ensure you get what you wanted was to create a PF with what you were doing. Is it ideal? Probably not. However, it would be up to each person to decide if it matters that much to them, or if they are willing to take the risk of someone "spoiling" something. I'm not sure why they didn't, but I think a perfectly viable alternative would have been to allow it to be done with trusts.

    After Mothercrystal and having it be in MSQ, I was surprised they didn't. That's really the ultimate solution. I'm curious if they will go back and revamp this, since I believe they said the final goal is for the entire MSQ to be able to be done solo, but they weren't focusing on 8-man raid revamps first. When I heard it was going to be connected to MSQ, I considered it might be a 4-man with Duty Support.

    Until they can do that, this would at least be a small band-aid fix. Alternatively, just allow them to be turned off entirely in options. Or crazy insane out there idea, only enable them for premade groups, lol. That would make some Alliance Roulette raids rather spicy.
