I don't miss the ignorance as much as I miss the oppurtunity to put my mind to the puzzle. That's part of the raid game, and spoilers ruin it for everyone but those on the frontier. I realize it's an opt-in spoiler, but basically everyone opts in and even leading the raid you can't escape it because then every little fanboy who read how it was done will be insisting you do it THIS way since THIS way worked for THOSE guys.

I basically don't raid unless I'm on the frontier to escape this bullshit. Obviously not "world first" but generally "server first". I have more fun figuring out the encounter than following the how-to checklist and collecting loot.

Unfortunately I can't figure out how to cure the spoiler disease either. Would you flag random elements on raid ID? Would these be per mob? per zone? It could get really complex and more trouble than it's worth. Then people would contest their kill was harder due to random element X. I don't really care about that aspect, but it did burn in my soul a little that a troop of idiots got Gruul down before my guild because he stopped exploding after growth 4. Not a random element that made me happy at all.

I think spoilers are here to stay for a good long time, but my solution currently works as you can avoid them just by being worth a damn and getting in a decent guild.
