    A few points.

    1. While English is a difficult language, every person in most of the EU (and most of the developed world) has to learn a fair amount of it before graduating highschool. While I agree with the sentiment that people should be able to speak their native language I believe you misunderstood this person's intentions and sentiments completely. This person was likely wanting to use English because it was the language You understood and therefore they would be able to better communicate for your benefit. If the party was matched through the duty finder, it was entirely their decision to select English or whatever language when they queued for the sake of making that queue quicker. The game will not pair together people unless those language options are selected. For example, if I queue for CM or AK with Japanese selected, I would only be grouped with Japanese players, or other English players who selected Japanese as a language. I would not be matched with English players who did not select Japanese. And in selecting this, I would accept that it would be required of me to have some ability to communicate in Japanese in exchange for the convenience of queuing with persons from a different timezone. Responsibility rests solely on the individual making these choices and should not be brushed off on other members of the group, regardless of language used.

    2. Regarding healing of DPS. DPS should be aware of how their own attacks draw agro and understand how and when they should use their abilities... Just like healers should understand that spamming medica at the beginning of a fight will also pull agro. This is a matter of learning your class, and the only real excuse is if the tank is flat-out making no attempt at holding agro. If someone in your party is going all out from the begining, pulling agro from the tank, then finding death soon after, then they need to take a few moments, pull their head out of their arse and consider the situation instead of continuing with the same behavior over and over. If people do not care to learn their class or how a party works, it is not your responsibility to drag them through instances.

    This aside, there is no instant fix for a tank losing agro other than the target which stole agro dying. By not healing the target which took agro (and which is still likely attacking) it becomes impossible for the tank to regain it meanwhile the healer will soon draw agro themselves from the subsequent healing spam. The end result is a dead party. This is why it is important that people learn how their class works so that everyone can do their job.

    Everything else though, I'm in general agreement.
