I just like not wasting the time of the other 7 people, nor my own. What's it to anyone if I watch a guide or not? And if I don't want to play with people who are going in unprepared like that, I don't have to be in the same group as them.

This just reminds me of this one time I was in Seat of Sacrifice Normal. We wiped 3 times, people weren't getting the mechanics. I told them at least what the fire/ice mechanic did. All I said was "When he casts this, it does this, when he casts that, it does that". Nothing major. I was told to calm down (???) and that the group wanted to go into the fight and figure things out themselves.

...Alright then?

We wiped one more time despite this time knowing what Fire/Ice swords did, so I just quietly left the instance. That sort of playstyle already isn't for me, and if people refuse to prepare themselves with randoms or take advice, it's really not for me.

I really don't care if it's a crutch or not. It's a videogame, I have nothing to prove. I just want to have fun.
