is this a common occurrence?

First time I did Brayflox our tank was a high end well geared raider who just started running his own show. Me (WHM) and a dragoon DPS were brand new just learning the event. We were ok till the big swamp area where he suddenly ran off and aggroed the whole area telling us to meet him at the next mini boss. Of course we didn't know where that was so we followed best we could but I guess took too long cause the train of mobs following him killed him.

After we respawned he started berating me and the DRG... Even after telling him it was our first time and telling him he should back off and be a bit more clear his strategy. I just decided to quit the dungeon and eat the 30 min penalty since he just kept on insulting us. I think next time I would just let them kick me to avoid the penalty.

"Those players" are out there. Some of them are pretty good at game mechanics but lack social skills like patience and tact which can make it hard to play online with them.

Just because he has high level gear, it doesn't mean he is a raider or don't suck. There are two sets of gear at top level

If he can't dodge the front AOE attack of Aviatar, which is really easy, he suck.
