    I play a healer on and off, and on the duty finder I get tanks that does NOT or can NOT hold aggro. I don't lash out at them. I don't tell them how to play, I run towards the tank. If that is not enough, I tell the party I need help because I am getting mobbed. Surely enough, those that can will help and flash more or do whatever they want to get hold of the mobs more. Those that haven't got a clue.. well we wipe. After enough wipes, we vote abandon. It is all part of the game, sometimes it is just bad luck, just like the RNG. But you know what, it is very rare, I ran into one such players in the last 6 weeks. You make seem like they are all over the place.

    But know this. I ran into this way more often, people trying to force other people to speedrun, tanks, dps, or healers. The odds are like almost 100% on duty roulette main story. Grabbing way more mobs than anyone has any business doing. Forcing people to skip cutscenes. These I see nearly once a day. Sometimes I can keep up, and sometimes I can't. I die, they wipe etc. But they almost always just run off without a word, without any attempt at communication or negotiation.
    And that's what you keep skipping over. It's a GROUP effort. If people refuse to adapt, even just a tiny bit, to make said group effort go smoother, they are wrong. I don't care which side you come from.

    Next, all over the place? No. But more common than the type you seem to be complaining about. I've seen the ones who want to speed run, who want people to skip cutscenes. Like one time I was tanking Praetorium, the other tank was brand new. I would not pull til he was there, and some people got upset. They could have kicked me too, which was the funny part, but never did. And here's the thing, this other tank was asking me about how he could help more. He got my comm, just for that. This is what i'm talking about.

    I do NOT skip over it. I keep telling you there are some that just do that know and they won't know until they try and learn. You keep assuming they do not want to try, i.e. refuse to adapt. Actually the even the blizz 3 guy is trying to adapt, they just adapt wrong sometimes. Those that don't adapt are very few and they don't get very far.

    No, you skipped over it. I'm talking about when you try to help them, and they still don't. I'm not talking about the VERY first run and the guy is doing it and no one has said anything. When you try to help, to help the group as a whole, and they refuse. In that instance, why should the tank(or other people really) stick around if they know that all that's going to happen is repeated wipes?

    One of the most common comments i've seen by those who lash out when you try to help them or give advice. "Chill out, it's just a game" And when you do hundreds and hundreds of instances, you see these people. Sometimes less often, sometimes all the time.
