Just had a guy report me because of 2 questions

"If i get 2 vulnerability stacks, swap with me"

Don't worry about this. All content in the game can be tanked without tank stance; most of it comfortably, thus you can just slap on tank stance to make up for the vuln stacks, and slap on rampart if you're still hurting. You can double up on that by using self-heals if the healers are having trouble. Apply cooldowns and mitigations proportionate to the stack size, especially during a tankbuster.

i ask the OT if he knows how to cover a tankbuster, to which they respond "no".

Again, i'm fine with this, so i ask him another question: "Do you have any defense ability you can use on someone?"

A lot of paladins I've encountered in dungeons, even low level ones, have used Cover effectively and creatively in appropriate situations. But it is nevertheless something you have to train yourself to do instinctively so that your first thought in that split second moment is Cover and not something else. It's not worth expecting a PUG paladin to have done that and pressuring them about it in casual content that is not high-end. If they cover you they do, otherwise they don't and you find your own solution until they do.

This is when things start getting even funnier and they say "Dude, i'm a sprout" to which i answer "So am i" then, someone on our team said "I mean, you're level 70" and after him saying "i don't care about the game i only want the story", our teammate says "still..." to which they respond with "stop this harassment, i am getting annoyed", we keep talking and i ask them "how is that harassment?" and our teammate tells him that we just wanted to know if he knew his abilities.

They told everyone clearly they were just in it for the story and don't care for being a top-tier player. That was an excellent moment to accept that, drop it and leave them be. For people to persist with "still..." and "how is that harassment?" is just perpetuating the situation and unnecessarily adding fuel to a fire.

It baffles me how someone is in Alphascape v2.0 without knowing any of the basic stuff, basically holding us, teammembers, hostage, carrying deadweight, and then have the audacity to say we're harassing them when we are ACTUALLY trying to HELP them.

You hardly need to know how to use Cover or Intervention to clear Alphascape v2.0 as the OT. The MT can handle the whole thing on their own, including the dragon.

In Stormblood every tank has a mitigation that uses their gauge which they can apply on a far more regular basis than other cooldowns: Sheltron, The Blackest Night and Inner Beast.
