Last week, I signed up for Wanderer's Palace and got a WHM who only ever cast two spells: Stone II and Cure III. Each pull, he would run in before me (the tank) and cast Stone II until I was at about 25% health, then spam Cure III until he ran out of mp. Sometimes we'd manage to kill the pack of mobs, but usually we'd only kill one or two and then wipe. We suggested he use Cure I a bit more to conserve mp, but I'm not sure he could understand us as he didn't change his patterns and never spoke at all. Naturally, I died during the Goobue boss, but since we had a BRD he was able to kite-tank the boss for a while. All the while, the WHM was chasing the Goobue around casting Stone II while we pleaded with him to Raise me. Shockingly, eventually he did Raise me (the one and only time he cast a spell other than Stone II or Cure III).

After the kill, the BRD initiated run abandonment, and I didn't have it in me to disagree.

An examination of the WHM revealed that he was wearing mostly Darklight Caster equipment, though some of his accessories were Darklight Aiming gear of all things. We offered suggestions on what gear might be more appropriate, but were still met with stony silence.

There are bad people out there... But honestly, this was the first and only player that I felt was bad enough to make any kind of fuss about. Most of the people I play with are at the very least competent, so I'm not too worried about the state of the game as a whole.
