I would agree, and I try to do these things. I'm not gonna pretend I'm the most patient person in the world. I've complained to my boyfriend or FC when I have had a group I wasn't happy with. However, I will never ever insult the person performing the role. I will offer them guidance in the form of suggestions, and advice (assuming I know the role well enough to give it). I think I'm in the minority though. Most people will say nothing if others start being jerks, or if a tank may need some guidance. I don't really foresee the community changing in that aspect, though I would be pleased if it did.
