I don't understand...

The only type player that is unworkable is the troll because they deliberately want to work against your objective. "Working around" happens at various level and it is just a matter of degrees. It is not ridiculous, but there is no two ways about this, some have more experience, some have better gear etc. It is never 100% equal at any given time. And actually the more you push yourself, the more you will find that others are not keeping up, so more working around to a greater degree. That is a necessary fact of improving faster than other players or simply playing more.

I'm just pointing out that even having to say "work around the other players" seems pointless since that's literally how you play the game. That's teamwork. That is what makes MMOs great. So every time someone says "just work around them" I'm immediately think "do you really think we aren't doing that already? The fact that we are doing that and it still isn't working means something else needs to happen to meet us half way because working around you obviously isn't enough right now."

Oh and I completely agree. Sometimes wiping is the best tool to illustrate why something didn't work. That is until they turn the blame on you somehow completely invalidating the lesson. Like if a tank pulls too many mobs than the healer can handle. Then the tank blames the healer. It ends up being the tanks fault, but the wipe gets pushed to the healer since he refuses to accept any personal responsibility.
