Because it's annoying to have someone join your group only to cause you to fail. You can take 40 level 80 well geared people to AQ40 which is Pre-BC, and if they do not know the fight, they will not clear that instance. Period. It is important to know how to fight the twins, if you don't, you fail. It doesn't take everyone either, just some, but when it's no one, you can't fake it, til you make it. It's fail from the beginning they just didn't know it yet.

Naxx is a good example. I only have 3 hours of game time an evening. I don't want to spend 2 hours to get only 1 wing down. That's a waste of time. It's also a waste of time to explain the encounter to someone who isn't prepared, especially when there are intricate multiphased fights that require different tasks or focuses for each member.

It used to be that you had to buy a book from Brady Games that explained how the encounters worked. Today, you've got Tankspot.com, WowHead.com, wowwiki.com not only do you have descriptive written strats, but you have people who have taken video of the encounters for you to watch, listen, and learn.

Now there are plenty of people that will explain it over and over because they pug so much. I left a guild that did just that. It took many hours extra to do things that good players that learned and understood their characters and the encounters would.
