They wouldn't have any problems if they:
1) Join a party
2) Try not to tank everything in sight knowing full well they can't. And then expect for a healer to take all their problems away. Not dying for anyone that isn't in my party, Thanks!
3) Die like boss
Yeah, as a healer in Fates, I have to say this. I will heal non-party members if I can with ease.
If you are running around like you have a hot coal in your underwear, or way out of range, or I can't see your name b/c there's 20 other people in the same area, then sorry too bad. If the Fates are difficult enough to need healing, then ask us to join your party. Problem solved.
Tanks pulling enemies out my Shadowflare.
Or the occasional White Mage going crazy with Holy and killing my raging strike dotted enemy before bane LOL. Lucky enough that doesn't happen often as im pretty fast with dotting before they can even cast.

Guilty. >_> Although to be fair, the targetted enemy was below 50% when I started Holy bombs...and I wiped out pretty much everything else.
That is...pretty much all I ever asked for from the beginning. It really is appreciated. To see a healer that can easily heal with no consequences to themselves refusing to because they just have to squeeze out that one extra stone II cast is what annoys me.
But once again, a lot of my issues with dps spamming white mages came from people in my own fate parties that refused to heal, not so much solo people in fates.
In general:
Any player post-50 with i70+ gear (esp with Relics or more) that does not know how to play their class. I don't care if you just got to 50 and had everything from farming on another class; you have gear, you're going to try content appropriate to that gear level, you need to know your class. Hate going into Coil or an EX Primal with clueless people.
People who tell others how to play a class without leveling said class.
Kiting/running away from mobs as the tank tries to get aggro back
Not dodging AoEs properly
Claiming to know a fight well, first to die to easy mechanics (esp bad in "die = kick" PFs)
Tanks:
Use AoE aggro attacks to grab initial hate on groups (after Shield Lob/Tomahawk to get their attention), and keep using Flash/Overpower occasionally to keep aggro. So many tanks don't do this...
Using Provoke to grab aggro and not following-up on it.
Spinning mobs with no AoEs forcing it. Just stop it already.
Not using tanking stances.
Random tank swapping when tank swapping is not necessary
Healers:
Fluid Aura. Just no. Take it off your bar if you can't not use it
AoE heal spam. Succor, Medica or Medica 2
Regen between pulls
SCH Stoneskin/Protecting the party when a WHM is around
Not DPSing when incoming damage is low
Not having Swiftcast (both), Eye for an Eye (WHM) or Stoneskin (SCH)
Cleric Stance healing (not removing it when told its on)
DPS:
Not using self-buffs appropriately
Not debuffing enemies or keeping DoTs up
Spamming basic attacks
BRD and MNK without Blood for Blood, BLM and SMN without Quelling Strikes (BLM also need Eye for an Eye, and I just don't care about untraited Mantra at all, sorry MNK)
BRD who refuse to sing.
BRD who sing Foe's with no Casters in the party
MNK who only flank-attack, or only rear-attack. Dance for the party please
Not Limit Breaking when needed or told to
Pets running wild (also applies to SCH, but harder to notice)
AoE on less than three enemies (Flare is OK, everything else is bad, does not apply to SMN)
SMN not using Bane or Miasma 2 on groups
SMN not using Shadowflare, Eye for an Eye or Virus at all.
DRG not using Power Surge + Jump as part of their rotation, running between every mob instead of using Spineshatter or Dragonfire Dives (assuming one is up), not using Dragonfire Dive on a group of mobs (if its up), not using Elusive Jump to dump aggro (if its up).
DRG and MNK (also applies to tanks) who stun enemies that need to be stun-locked or stunned at specific times and build resistance
BLM sleeping groups during AoE, or Sleeping a target that is being killed
Uh...I'll stop now.
It's been said before but i gotta get it off my chest:
FLUID AURA! Please for the love of the twelve STAWP!
P.S. This is not my main...
I will fluid aura so hard (Against bosses that can't be pushed back) or against the Sahagin that casts AoE fear if we hit the point where it can't be interrupted (Because the movement cancels it.) :3
Smart use of Fluid Aura is great. The issue is, leveling, you learn to use it ASAP as part of a rotation. x.x
