Principle my friend. Principle. If you let the lack of effort of one player influence your own, you're not any better. Worse even. So easily swayed into a defeatist mindset instead of sticking to your guns, and just getting the dungeon run done, and moving on with your playtime.
If you want to argue on the side of it not being proper etiquette, I am not going to argue with you. I actually agree with that. When you start saying it's harmful, I am going to say you are overdramatizing the situation. Especially with my above statement in mind.

That is the single most high-horse load of bull I've read all day, and these are the OFs!
Where on earth did you read "defeatist"? Are you honestly saying that you're meant to endure stupidity and people frustrating you and that we should embrace this sort of playstyle in the community and not be outraged when it happens? Overdramatizing? Okay so you're just going to ignore the examples not only that I gave but other people agreed? I read your above statement, and it just reeks of haughtiness. You're accusing me of defeatism? You're accusing me of overdramatizing a situation? But what proof do you have other than nonsensically vague insults, miss? What else do you call disdain for such moments?

Go on then. Let's see you clear Bardam's Mettle as a Scholar with a DRK without them using Living Dead and have the DPS not AoE the pulls at all. Tell me that's dramatizing a situation that actually can happen.

Tell me to my face that people doing the absolute bare minimum and lying to your face about it is dramatizing when just this weekend I had a tank outright tell me she was using more than Rampart. When I, as her Sage healer on Dead Ends, barely could keep up with the damage she took. And I didn't quit, I stayed the whole dungeon. But it wasn't worth it, nor does it say anything about any virtue I might have. Because that's the sort of people you're defending. And calling others that don't want to deal with this "overdramatizing". If you're okay with that sort of behaviour, that's on you, but keep your haughty insults to yourself.

Or perhaps I need to spell it out how exhausting it is needing to deal with that? Especially if you're a new player who isn't used to these things and likely don't have the gear to keep up? You're really going to defend that and tell me that I'm being dramatic? It's taxing. That's what's harmful about it. Nothing needs to be this exhausting, much less in a videogame, now does it? Physical harm isn't the only kind of harm out there.

Imagine reading tooltips

FireMage has a point. If people managed to go through character creation and read the quests they're given to progress the story, they aren't illiterate. Minimum you can do is read what your skills do.
