My story is partially my fault, but i will explain it anyways
So I was doing my second run of tam tara just to help out a group standing out side. we get to the 3rd group of adds and my doorbell goes off. Now at this point its worth mentioning that my doorbell is the most obnoxious sounding thing on the planet, and the person ringing it decided on the tactic of just holding it till I came to the door.we finish off the adds, I quickly type to stop and I was going AFK wilst I verbally abuse the fella at the door. I open said door, tell the person where to go, rush back (I was gone for about 45 seconds) only to find the whole group ragin because they died. I apologised but did say that I was going, during a quiet point, and they can obviously read the chat box.
unplugged the door bell since then

Last night, I decided to level up my Arcanist and do Satasha's.
I found a tank and another ACN. We were waiting in que for a healer about 20mins, and I kept trying to get the tank and other ACN to just ask for another dps so we could go and I'd heal. The tank didn't trust that I would do a good job so we continued waiting for a healer. We FINALLY got qued and we went inside.
The healer never cast protect, so I went ahead and did it. First mob, the healer goes into Cleric Stance and starts dps. tank is at 50% HP. No heals yet, so I went ahead and used Physick on the tank. I figured the healer just zoned out or wasn't paying attention/distracted for a sec. 2 groups of mobs later, I ended up taking on the healer role. -.- The healer would not heal anyone, and just kept DPSing. I decided to go ahead and take this chance to prove to the tank that I would've been perfectly fine healing if we had just gotten another DPS.

So we get to that part where there's lot's of rooms with treasure. The party does like 2 rooms, then heads to the boss fight. I tell them to wait and come back because there's still a couple more, but the healer ran in and initiated the fight. I got locked out before I had a chance to get there. Needless to say, they died within 30seconds because the healer wouldn't heal. =.=
Anyway, we went back and got the other rooms, then went to fight the little boss pirate guy or w/e, I healed, and we did perfectly fine. -skip to last room before boss- My Carbucle chases the pirate guy that runs away through the room without me knowing, and aggros all the mobs.
Snap.
Tank grabs all the aggro, and starts taking more damage than I can heal. The other arcanist sees the issue and starts healing as well. Next thing you know, I have all the aggro from spam healing, and I'm being chased around. I die. Healer still dpsing and not healing. SERIOUSLY? *tank dies* Aggro goes to other Arcanist, he sits there spam healing himself while, omg, no way! The healer actually used Raise on me? :O

By this time the tank had already respawned and come back. We finished that room and went to the boss fight. I got out my topaz carbuncle to tank the ads, or else we would be toast. So during the fight, I'm closing the trap doors so monsters don't pop out, controlling a mini tank that holds on to the ads that I miss, and still somehow managing to find time to heal the tank and 2 Topaz Carbuncles. The healer, is still DPSing. WHYYYYY????? The boss' HP gets down to 20% and we have 5 ads chasing us around, I see that we have a level 2 limit break and use to kill the ads. Thank God.... Anyway, we finished the fight, the Arcanist says "Good job everyone!" and it took just about everything in me not to explode. We leave the dungeon, and i say to the tank "That healer NEVER healed, I had to do everything! @_@" Tank: "Lol yeah, I was getting really irritated" Me: "I told you we would've been fine with another DPS and me healing" Tank -no response-
Haha.

Dunno why so many people have to be ass-hats about getting advice. If we're having trouble and someone tells me I need to use flash more or target a specific mob first I thank them and do it. I don't know where all this "NUH UH GO DIE" blame game crap comes from. Are some of these players just so blind they don't even see what they do wrong when someone points it out?
Same for people who just rage that someone isn't doing their job right, but can't say what right is.
If you're bad at your job, accept the advice. If someone's screwing up, advice before blame. I wish I could have some of you posters end up in my party from time to time.

I think it is an alpha-personality type issue (men or women). Alpha personality types don't like to be wrong or questioned. Beta type are more likely to be followers (and maybe play healers, someone should study that :) ).

I had a similar experience in Haukke Manor, the tank was telling me don't you have cure ll, which I didn't then told me to kite the mobs????
