    i disagree just cause there is the case of not having gear or actually being new or having a healer with those issues. I will however say that if those things arent an issue and they still single pull dungeons with the excuse this is my playstyle then they are lazy, hinderance to their teammates, unwilling to learn, wasting time and extremely selfish

    Emphasis mine. So... someone who is a lazy unlearning selfish time wasting hinderance... i feel im safe calling those people bad at whatever job they play. As for new players, yes a lot of them do start out playing bad. Some get better. Bad gear is just a lazy excuse from someone wanting to hinder their team. If your gear is so far behind that you cant do your job, its because you arent upgrading it. The story throws gear at you hand over fist, so your first class should always be well outfitted. And i know im not alone in expecting someone working on a 2nd 3rd or whatever class to know how to keep up with gear and how important it is to their performance. Next, you mention the bad healer case. My exact words were "If your default speed is a single pull". Slowing down pulls because a group cant keep up(and you dont feel like leaving) is totally reasonable behavior. Assuming every healer is bad and therefore always going slow is unreasonable behavior. Also note that i never said pull wall to wall or else, just that your default should be higher then single pull. And my final point would be that final line. Assuming you didnt buy a job skip, by the time youre level 50 you arent really new anymore. Having a tank at level 50 means you played it for 20-50 levels and should have learned what it can do. At 50 every healing class has the means to handle big pulls, and every DPS has aoe moves. By that point, there is no reasonable excuse for always insisting on single pulls.
