A short one, but one that makes the stereotype of "DPS are dumb" more true. Did a run in Tam Tara Hard, tank was telling the group to not attack adds on the first boss.

I've had this same thing happen with a Dragoon... no matter how much we told them not to kill the adds... all they did was throw out smileys and continue their AoEs. After the 4th wipe, the tank refused to budge after that.

FC member and I ended up just having to leave as they were both being stubborn and derpy after we stood around for 10-15 mins (tank was trying to wait out the DRG in hopes he'd leave).

Gah I hate those types of people that try to spite you just so that your own run is ruined. From the sound of it, it seems your idiots were actually trolls if they were throwing emoticons in response to your commands.

Yeah, the dragoon, I believe, was trolling. The tank was just downright stubborn. "I'm not moving from this spot (the respawn) until that dragoon leaves!", was the tank's jist.
My initial thought was maybe the Dragoon didn't speak English very well - but it's very difficult to tell if they just " " a million times, with a few scattered "we go?", etc. Hey, it's possible it could have been both >_> (Or a native speaker posing as ESL)
