Why is it so common to join extremes without watching a guide first?

[LianaThorne]

I go into everything blind for the first time because I enjoy it. Plain and simple. I make people aware that I am going in blind and have never experienced anything other than "Okay" or "Oh, same!". I don't expect to be carried and if I die, I try to work out how to fix it or ask questions. If I'm still struggling, then I turn to a guide.

I'd at least like a chance to figure it out for myself before having my hand held by someone else. Not sure when going in blind for first experience became a bad thing but this is a bit sad.

If ya'll are in a rush to do things right, find or put together a group that plays to your expectations. If you're doing mentor roulette... well you're choosing to do mentor roulette...if it's an issue that new people will often go in without knowledge, then don't do mentor roulette. XD All you can do is control what you do, not anyone else.
