Why Does It Feel Like Poor Play Is Acceptable (I'm Venting.)

[Bourne_Endeavor]

John has a level 70 tank.
How much experience does he have tanking dungeons?
^ you dont know, because level is not an indication of this.
It's possible he has no dungeon tanking experience as you can get a tank to 70 without tanking dungeons.

Is it so much to ask for actual evidence before you go accusing people of things?
You're going on a witch hunt:
"This lady owns a black cat and a broom! Definitely a witch!"
"This guy has shift eyes! Definitely a murderer!"
"That person wasn't hired for the job! Definitely discrimination of some sort!"

Crazy witch cat lazy isn't abruptly forcing three random people to deal with her inexperience raising a dog when she decided, on a whim, to try owning one.

Therein lies the flaw with your analogy. People have a right to reasonable expectations when they queue into content. If John, "never tanked a dungeon before" tank decides to queue into level 70 dungeon and has absolutely no idea what he's doing, the fault remains his for essentially wasting the time of three unsuspecting players who he didn't give a damn about when he queued. And were John in my party, I would show him the door once five minutes elapsed.

I don't think the healer (or myself) did anything wrong. We offered advice and it wasn't taken. At the same time I am losing patience with these people and I think part of that is the knowledge that there are actual experienced players in this game who feel it's perfectly acceptable to ice mage your way to an O4S clear.

I wouldn't feel bad because these types of players certain don't. They expect us to carry them because "it's just a game" yet if we shared their attitude nothing would ever get done. I'l kick DPS who refuse nowadays. I'm just tired of carrying lazy players who refuse to respond to advice or get their panties all twisted because you dared to tell them their rotation isn't the best.
