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

[Reinha]

Ok people dont seem to understand what I mean.

Why join and ask for the strat written in party chat when you can easily read the strat on google?

Offering guidance is one thing, rewriting the mechanics for you as soon as you join the party makes no sense when you can just go to google to read before that and save everybody some time.

Some mechanics are so lengthy to explain (Thordan?) that more often than not nobody gets to finish and they maybe would if you would have read beforehand. And I can understand you can’t remember everything, but you will remember at least SOMETHING that in the end will make the whole run smoother for everybody.

If you want to do a blind run then join and say that. Don’t join and ask for the full written guide when that is accessible literally everywhere online.

It makes NO difference.

If you learn by doing then congratulations, everyone learns that way, thats not even the point, but don’t join asking people to write down for you something you can find in ten seconds to begin with.

They are lazy. They don't want to learn through practice since that would involve figuring out the mechanic on their own instead of asking you. But of course "anything I need to know?" is how their supposedly blind run begins. They want you to watch/read the guide and tell them what the guide says.

I used to have consolegameswiki text guides open back when I did extremes in Mentor roulette, and I'd copy paste the mechanics after a wipe and a "what happened". Thordan in particular was a fight where the text guide came in handy. No need to waste time typing 9 phases, just copy paste it straight from the website.

Actual blind runs where no one asks to be spoonfed strats are fine, but they aren't for me.
