Hello, Tree!
Certainly walkthroughs aren't bad. They've saved many a player from giving up and throwing aside the game (whichever game there is) in disgust. Sometimes it's just because a puzzle that is intuitive to most may just escape another person; sometimes it's because the person playing the game has no sense of direction and really needs help navigating...
whatever the reason, one should not feel ashamed for using a walkthrough. I have a bit of a problem with someone using a "trainer" (that is, a "cheat" program to up someone's stats abnormally), but not walkthroughs. Quite often, I'll have the walkthrough at hand, not to use while gaming, but to check afterward to see what I may have missed. I've also used them to "grade" myself (how well did I do? Did I find everything?)
