A common thing I've been seeing nowadays are a lot of parties demanding that players know the mechanics the first week of a patch release. I've always been one to go in blind for things because I honestly like learning and experiencing things on my own. I like the idea of other people actually helping and giving pointers during the fight itself. I know that guides like MTQcapture and Mr. Happy have been around for years. They are nice resources to have for those who simply don't have the time to learn and just want to run through it.
