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

I'm so sorry you require a hand holding guide for every fight in FFXIV. You would have had a lot of trouble with the earlier Final Fantasy series, and I can speak for everyone who played them back "in the day." If you want people to have watched a guide, put that in your PF, if you're joining DF I would absolutely expect people to perhaps have never watched a guide or want to.

Cut the gaslighting bullshit. Don't assume to know me or my gaming history from that one statement. There's nothing wrong with knowing what you're up against. It's hardly hand holding because there's still learning to be done, connecting what you've seen to what's going on in real time. If anyone's looking for hand holding, it's those people I mentioned that can't seem to be bothered to really study a fight. Next thing you know, they show up in Duty Complete Farm parties STILL making mistakes like they never did it before.

Lest we forget, there are those who run all manner of plugins to tell them where to go. That's the real braindead hand holding.
