I've posted in this thread defending the BLM, in my mind I can see why a new BLM would struggle with the fire 4 rotation in the fight in question and I also know some BLM's ignore the 60 rotation when first getting to 60 in fights they don't know yet. It's not what I did but I do have some sympathy with their reasoning.
That said however I've just had a Nevereap run collapse because the BRD, with his 9.5k hp had a Novus weapon. The DRG "DC'd" on the first trash pack, his replacement took one look at the BRD and bailed, followed by the healer. The BRD's reasoning was that he'd returned to the game and hadn't geared up yet. Considering he could have gotten a much better weapon for 20k from a number of vendors on his way from 50-60 that's not good enough and I can understand why some get very frustrated with those kind of attitudes. Some people just really don't try and that's why these threads hit 80 pages.

In contrast to him, I wouldn't even go near 60 content on my PLD until I'd got ilvl 180+ with a 200 weapon, not because of the instance but because I knew I'd have to keep hate from ilvl 210's. I'm not saying be that anal but if people would meet me in the middle I'd be happy.
