Considering I do the EX trials, ultimates, and savage tiers on release I get plenty of experience doing things without guides. But if a guide exists I will use it and it hasn't made me a bad player to use one. The main reason I use them is because I'm a slow learner and the way I learn things is different than most my friends. (this isn't just a videogame thing, it's an issue in all aspects of my life) The guides cut out frustration on my end because I have visuals to give context to mechanics so I'm able to understand them better than doing the fight once blind then sitting and listening to a friend quickly explain everything and it just goes in one ear out the other. If I can avoid the frustration of feeling stupid because everyone around me learns faster than me and everyone else is able to learn just by sitting and listening to the raid leader quickly explain something without any images or context, I'll take it.
