I dunno about #3. People who don't follow guides usually end up complaining about how weak their character is or how hard it is to level or how complex some systems are. I cannot begin to list all the times I've run into people who have done that. Some of them have even posted here complaining in the past on certain games about how they can't do or find something. Ignorance is a common reason people stop playing games.
I say read guides and if you decide that you want to do something different then that's fine. But don't simply ignore builds, tips and strategies given by players especially when a good portion of the time the information they compile is actually useful and will make things easier instead of harder for you. Nothing is more frustrating than playing a game and you don't have a clue as to what the hell you are doing.
