    As a tank, runs take too long if you let players argue in between each pull. Especially since people rage at each other in the same way that the OP originally phrased his post. I don't want people to start a fight and rage quit, so I would rather just pull again.
    People will only argue when there's opinions. When it's about facts like "don't stun" or "gather up for heals when such and such happens", then it shouldn't cause an argument. In the op's case, it should be easy to force a reply out of the player in question before making the next try.

    At least the ninja remembered to put poisons on, this issue of poison getting removed each time you leave duty since 2.5(I don't wanna call it a bug since I'm not sure if it's an intentional thing or not) launched, 9/10 ninjas I group with (myself included from time to time) spend a good portion of the instance without poisons on because they're not used to having to keep thinking about it. But yeah, I agree with Canadane, if there's an issue, you should address it between wipes rather than just keep going over and over again with the problem persisting

    4-5 runs to switch poison (which is just a toggle) after being repeatedly told to do so isn't trying very hard. It sounds more like the ninja was being obstinate.

    Besides the ninja poison vanishing between dungeons (guilty as well) I find most of the Crystal tower bosses tend to suffer from Tunnel Vision as well. I don't know if the phases last too long or if people just spam the fights too many times in a row but it's very very easy to just zero in on the boss and completely forget all of the other mechanics.

    If you are pulling before the team can figure out what went wrong on a previous attempt and plan to fix it, you are just going to cause another wipe.

    To the OP, make sure the person who you need to have change acknowledges it in chat. If they don't respond then you can't assume they will do it. If they just ignore you and don't respond... They are not a team player and don't belong on the team.

    I don't know which is worse, the LolNIN or the guy who rages on "you people" because he met a bad player.

    In my case on levi ex, 1single stun from dps wont be the end of the world.. It's true people or more to like dps who doesnt know the mechanic should just learn but in case both tanks are warriors, tanks might need to stun only dreadwash while letting dreadstorm casted on the ground.. There is a way to make things better rather than pointing people's mistakes, especially since i've seen tanks blaming melee dps due to "invulnerable to stun" during dreadstorm being casted more rather than random stun from dps..

    I find that adding a sound effect can knock people out of tunnel vision.
