If you listen to what other experienced people say, it will be smooth run. I have had multiple case of kicking these people and having rest of the CT run go smooth.

Bottom line, if you don't know CT, at least learn to listen and follow orders. Is that being elitist?
The way people learn is thru practice and trial and error. And the first thing everyone does upon entering is rush in. People don't stop and explain what to do. You have to figure things as you go along. Here is my first run. Notice how I'm struggling with the HUD so much that I end up just standing in the poison that rises during the first trash run. I was so overwhelmed by everything else that was going and where my party was and what they we're doing that I just stood there and let it kill me. I had *no* idea at the time that I was standing in the purple ooze at all. When I died I thought something must have just struct me or something. It wasn't until I reviewed this video that I had done so dumb. It's so obvious to see in the video that I need to move. I look at it and can't believe that I didn't spot it and move. Perhaps if I could have adjusted the UI outside CT it never would have happened.

That was the biggest and most major mistake I made the entire run. But it shows how easy it is for anyone to do something that appears so profoundly stupid. But it's not a reason to kick. You *only* kick those who are deliberately causing trouble repeatedly. The fact you haven't realized that everyone is capable of mistakes shows your own lack of experience with working in large groups. Cuz you've made plenty, many you never realized.
