I would kill myself if I had to let someone wipe to Allagan Rot a hundred times until they got it because they had no idea how the mechanic worked.
Disclaimer, I've yet to do Rot with anyone, but I imagine telling new people to "play hot potato with the debuff! always pass it to the same person!" would work well.... no?
You would think that, yes. In practice it's a lot more difficult. People forget to count, or forget to move, or... just generally couldn't somehow manage watching a debuff. It's not pleasant to try and explain to a new person, and guaranteeing wipes until someone feels comfortable is the most stressful thing in the world for somebody trying to work towards progression.
I imagine it's the same for silencing ADS in Turn 1, or managing slugs. Instant-wipes if someone drops their role, and you only learn by doing. Going in blind is a death sentence to 1d100 attempts.
