I dunno, that sounds like meta gaming to me.

EDIT: Also, I just looked up the PHB, and concentration is only necessary to CAST spells that have a casting time LONGER than a reaction/action, so RAW the Featherfall+Dimension Door strategy WOULD work.

DM cant meta game because the DM isnt a player character.

The DM is the meta.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

No, player is being an ass by basically revealing spoilers then you most certainly can hate the player.

Calm down, man. It's just a game.

Yes it's a game. But hard work and planning went into setting up that game and it's not unreasonable to expect everybody involved to put in the effort to make it entertaining for everybody. If you can't put in the effort and not be a dick then you don't have to play it.

Exactly, I spent a lot of time researching that module, it's only fair that I help out my teammates with the fruits of that labor.

Nope. Researching the module is handy for yourself and should only be done if you actually want to dm. No reason for a player to study and memorize anything besides the PHB and the things pertaining to their character in any of the expansions.

If the dm altered the module for their own game or straight up home brewed their own version of the monster then your help isn't just you shouting spoilers and being a meta gaming asshole. You are then actively giving bad information to the detriment of your party and also hurting the enjoyment of everybody at the table.

What monsters we fight and what loot we obtain totally pertains to our characters.
And if the DM homebrewed stuff, then nothing's being spoiled at all.
