He started calling us backseat players and other stuff so we left him to his own devices. I eagerly await when he hits 50 and starts crying about elitists everywhere.
    They tried telling the tank what to do because the healer was pulling enmity. If the tank was undergeared like you're assuming, then they should have used Flash more, since the healer had to heal more. This wasn't even a DPS issue, it was the healer getting enmity because the tank could not keep it, and if the healer does not heal, then the group wipes. Not every monster can be slept, like ispano pointed out, and that includes the Dragon Aevis, which is the hardest-hitting trash pull in SV.

    They told the tank how to fix their enmity issue. You keep talking about everything being a collective effort, yet you insist that advice should not be given unless asked for, and that means having people adjust themselves to work around the poorest player (which was clearly the case in this situation). In order for a group to work in the most effective way, the least amount of adjustments should be made for that to happen. Suggesting to a tank that they should Flash more than once is a significantly smaller adjustment than having three people working around someone who refuses to press a button more than once.
