My friends and I were running Garuda HM last night.

And we experienced the same thing. Me being an iLv90 PLD in DPS gear opted to OT for more DPS. The MT didn't understand anything we were telling him with placements etc. No one wanted to leave or kick anyone for fear of being punished.

My friends Parser showed me as #2 on DPS list as a PLD. Was awful... And a waste of time. 30Min penalty for leaving a Duty is rough.
