The spoiler plague in this game in general is something I dislike a lot, especially since only handful of guilds (mostly MMO-vet guilds it seems, but neither that is any guarantee at all ofc) seem to be interested in keeping some intregrity and finding out shit on their own. Even in our own guild, we constantly have to slap the 'non-MMO vet' people around to prevent them from putting spoilers and movies just about anywhere. Our officers seem to be getting very adept at distinguishing 'suggestions' from suggestions during the figuring out phase of an encounter though, and theres quite a few red and swollen fingers among people in our guild.

I'm not sure how it was on your EQ server, but the use of spoilers wasn't near as widespread back then as it is on my current wow server. At the moment, we've actually seen anonymous screenshots that unrevokeably prove high-profile guilds on my server have used spoilers not only to gain time on finding out how abilities work and can be countered, but also on things like getting a headstart on farming for shit because KNEW about an encounter way beforehand, while the rest of us was still saying "well it's likely AQ will require some of this and that, but probably not anymore than we've seen till now in comparable scenarios".
Some members of those guilds actually go as far as to redicule us and other guilds for our 'slow' progress, which must be the dumbest thing ever if you know your guild is up to their neck in shit.
