I am pretty sure that if today you are here calling healers bad for something they probably didnt know, is because someone told/explained to you at one point what it is right ?

No, it's because I moved the mouse over the debuff to read what it does myself..
Is that really considered as too high of an expectation nowadays?

While it certainly helps that the community is sharing knowledge and helps each other out in understanding how certain things work, it is by no means required, pretty much everything is fairly easy to figure out yourself.
By level 50 I expect of players to have realized that buffs go to the left and debuffs go to the right (of the status bar).
From healers I generally expect to check out what that weird new symbol is that their partymembers get because it very well might be deadly.
From every player I expect to just generally read the info the game itsself provides, be it skill descriptions or debuff descriptions or directions and the like.

In this fight it's not exactly a big deal, and since everything else went well, it doesn't really matter, but there really is no reason to protect people who are not doing their job,
because this information isn't obsucred and hidden somewhere, it's right there, and it is PART of the healer's job to look out for that.

"Mousing over" debuffs to learn about them is actually a huge pain in the ass on controller, and borderline impossible in the heat of a fight.

Just two days ago I had to ask a Nin I was with about this odd buff I kept seeing him throw on the tank (I only knew it was Ninja because of the image, and a buff as it had the upward point). Turns out he was the first Ninja I've met who used his enmity reduction skill to help the tank.

Doesnt mean it can removed right?a simple explanation would have sufficed.. you still a poor player or shall i say bad. Also you doing something doesnt mean others will di so want to know why because of people like you that label ohers bad for asking a question. Next time say it it will be good for all.you lucky that nin didnt tell you to read a guide and to gid gud.

Got ARF from the 60 roulette. Had two dps leave immediately. I was worried the tank was going to leave because usually it's always the tanks/healers that leave first, but he stayed. We get a third dps and wait a few minutes before we get a fourth, who leaves. A few seconds later, the same dps joins again and leaves (I thought you'd get a penalty if there's a full party, but I dunno). Another dps joins and leaves right away. Finally, we get another dps that stays and run goes smoothly.

I don't know why they even bothered leaving because the penalty + queue times would take twice as long as it would take to do it, but okay then.

I don't know if you're having a hard time understanding them here. They're talking about reading buffs and debuffs. The ninja wasn't even in the Titan party. In fact, it's two different people talking.

I get that you're trying too hard to be offensive because someone touched a nerve, but it works far better when you understand what's being said.

I had a funny experience where a healer tried to cleanse my darkside buff thinking it was a debuff until i asked why they tried to keep cleansing it and they learned a new thing as "Darkside" is part of tanking skills.

Really unrelated but back when i was new, i actually thought that bard's flaming arrow was a foe's aoe and kept avoiding it, hence running away from the boss as a melee..

People really leave that dungeon? I love getting that dungeon, its easy and not like it takes very long to finish anyway. Its a lot of eso tomes.

I regularly joined in progress from my mentor roulette and the most frequent dungeons i ended up was ARF.. Either because the amount of ARF duty mounts a lot because of ESO farming or players fail/hate the dungeon so they left frequently..
