    i used to try and helped people with things like t5/9 in duty but i stopped for another reason other than tunnel vision but that's a different subject. it's just one example from one run though. multiply that and it gets really annoying. also QQ needs to die as a thing, so silly.

    It shouldn't take another run for the ninja to notice you were speaking to him. But if you just jump right into the fight again it's not his fault for following suit.
    me and the tank told them to change multiple times before the tank would start the fight and during the fight. even explained why we were telling them to switch venom's and when they finally changed they said sorry and said they focus too hard and don't look at chat. which is a problem in mmo's

    Which is why it was pointed out that these discussions should take place between attempts, when there is nothing else going on except chat. That's the only time you can really expect anything you say in chat to be seen.

    If, after the first wipe, everyone had stopped while you pointed it out, the NIN involved saw your message, replied to it, and acted on it, then you could have succeeded on the second try. The extra minute or two to actually stop everything else while discussing strategy can save far more time in repeated wipes. (Of course, this advice is mostly for tanks. If you weren't tanking at the time, you wouldn't have had control over this.)
