Bad players in Heavensward dungeons

As a tank the only time I have an issue is when DPS are focusing separate targets or just outright ignoring their own threat generation.

Generally I do my best to hold everything but if as an example a Bard decides to open up on one target full bore when there are 5 or 6 targets then run around away from their tank - good luck to them.

It's not worth the effort after awhile so I just let it go.

The only "bad" player I've seen so far in DF was a tank in the Aery who complained that I should skip cutscenes. Turns out the only one of any length was the opening one anyway. Don't queue for story dungeons in DF if you aren't prepared for people, you know... watching the story.

Yes, and you are also right with what you brought up. However I was speaking in regards to a basic rotation. Nothing flashy. This was more so aimed at the player base in the 1-50 zone who should have it figured out by at least level 40. After that once you get to 50, it's time to lock down the more advanced techniques.

All in all, it is our obligation as more experienced players to help the greener ones out. Should they have studied their role prior to a primary story based fight? Probably. But I can't blame them for not watching videos on it. Perhaps they just want a fresh experience free of spoilers, and that's fine. But take the time to explain. I don't think it's alright for players to be miffed until maybe after a 3rd wipe, when you've seen enough of the mechanics to understand how the fight works. After 4, somebody just flat out doesn't get it, and won't get it until they get carried. Even then, it's debatable they every really grasped the fight.

To sum it up, don't be a dick. Help people out. Unless they completely ignore instructions, which then in that case, feel free to initiate the rites of "welcome to end game in an mmo".
