Yes, they are. Now the fight takes longer because one player isn't performing comparably to the others. If it's a question of ilvl difference or lack of experience in the fight, then it's understandable. If they simply can't be bothered to improve, why should other players have to carry anyone? I reiterate, if all seven other players have this mentality, you may no longer meet the DPS checks or have to deal with mechanics you could otherwise skip. Everyone should be held to an equal stand. You blatantly admit one player gets to skate by doing the bare minimum provided DPS checks are met. I just can't agree with that mindset.
