why is it everyone feels the need now days to post guides for EVERYTHING
what has happened to the days of guarding your knowledge so you keep the upper hand most of the time
i swear if CCP made secret that gave you uber god like powers if you warped to certain plaints in a solar system in a certain order there would be a guide on the forums on how to do it with in a week of someone finding out.
you don't need to tell everyone how to do everything.
there's no one forcing you to share info you find that makes you isks/has that uber fit.
so why would you do it.

i still don't see why people want to help there competition
you still have not convened me having a guide for ever part of the game is good for the game
Mission Guides makes missions easier - More LP items on markets - LP items worth less = BAD
Mining Guides - makes everyone know how to mine effectively - Min prices lowered = BAD
T3 production Guides -more people make T3s - T3s cheaper = BAD
Booster making Guides - more people make boosters - booster prices fall = BAD
Exploration Guides - More people doing exploration - Exploration over crowed = BAD
Fitting Guides - people fitting better - less fail fits to lol at in KMs = BAD
Moon mining Guides - More Moon competition = BAD
there's no up side to having MORE competition |

I'm an industrialist. I love it when people blow each other up; when that happens I see two potential customers. Rule of acquisition #35: War is good for business. And in order for there to be more customers, there needs to be more players. If I help keep more players in the game, I develop more customers. Customers who blow each other up and buy more of my ships. Therefore I help people and there are more customers in EvE. Is that the much more selfish response you were looking for?
^^
that's for building things
why would people want to write guides for things that clearly have a affect on there ability do do them when more people do it
as in exploration guides, and WH guides, listing WHs by class and difficultly , Scanning guides, and drug making guides
they all clearly add to your competition and you get nothing in return besides a warm fuzzy feeling, which should be crushed and locked away in the blackest pits of darkness and greed.
you would think of all the MMOs that EvE would be the one LEAST likely to have guides for everything, but nope there's Nothing left that doesn't have a guide written for it .

1) You aren't a producer of said goods, you are a consumer and you WANT more competition.
2) Knowledge is a key resource for economic prosperity. By spreading such knowledge, you grease the economic wheels.
3) You are "getting out" of the profession, and no longer have any vested interest in keeping your information secret.
4) You are moving up the production line and want the components you used to build to be cheaper.
5) You want the market to grow, so it can support higher volumes.
Basically, it all boils down to you wanting someone else to do the work for you.
and yet we are back around to the building things/mining things
that still doesn't cover why people want to make guides for exploration, because no matter in what way you spin it more competition in exploration is NEVER a good thing
