Is there a way to design end game content that doesn't lead to a caustic community?

[Gamemako]

I've been doing Brayflox repeatedly to try to get the last two pieces of Battlemage (leveled CNJ 32-44 on pretty much Brayflox alone and finally got them!). I joined one in-progress with one guy left, standing there wondering what the hell happened. Apparently, his group dissolved after one wipe on the first boss. Didn't take much coaxing to get him and the other DPS (also new) to give it a go without a tank. 'Course, we went right through without issue, though a tank did eventually show up midway through to the second boss. Had another group where the tank joined up an immediately announced "Hi, I'm new to this dungeon" One DPS left without saying a word. Run went fine with no deaths and no wipes. Guy didn't understand combos (tried to skip over Heavy Swing), but we fixed that before first boss and didn't have any trouble with the run.

This isn't just endgame content, it's everything.

This isn't just endgame content, it's everything.

In the vast majority of cases when I see a tank having problems I give them some simple pointers and things usually work out.

There have been only a few cases where I simply couldn't take it anymore and dropped party:

- A Paladin in Dzemael that didn't use Shield Oath and never talked. Our Bard (from my FC) tanked the first boss and then we left. I really think that he hadn't even done the quest to unlock it.
- A Paladin in Garuda NM that wouldn't pull Garuda away from the stones. He talked, but in Italian, and I couldn't get him to understand me.
- A Monk in the level 40 guildhest where you have to kill the 5 demons at roughly the same time. Kept killing one of the demons even though we kept telling him to stop. Wouldn't talk.

There are limits to my patience, and if the other guy can't communicate with me, I just give up.
