What does it take to be considered a 'good' player?

This a game.....its supposed to be fun....not a job. Your treating it like its "srs bizzness".

Yeah this is a game with a lot of players, so god forbid to let them have fun, while you sit here and think the only one who needs fun is yourself. Way to go.

Meanwhile in another universe...
Player: Hello GM! I'd like to report an offense!
GM: What is it?
Player: This guy is having fun wrong!
GM: Wrong how?
Player: By not agreeing with my rules on what is fun!
GM: I'm sorry had to deal with this, I will resolve the matter urgently, thank you for bringing this to our attention.

GM: Hello player 2, this is the fun police, I have been informed you are having fun wrong!
GM throws the offending player into GM jail.
Player 2: Excuse me?
GM: Yea, someone died and made that other guy the fun police, so these are the rules now. Have a great day, IN PRISON!

In all seriousness though, a great player also understands that they are not alone in the game and should also tolerate and understand other viewpoints and not dig their own bunkers and be like "OOOH you are not like me, thus i automatically hate you for not agreeing with me on this or that."

Yes, the point is to have fun and everyone should have fun.

BUT there are cases where you're trying to have your version of fun in the wrong place at the wrong time. If you're version of having fun is ONLY doing Dragon Kick on monk because the animation is cool to you, and you're in a random party with me and I'm trying to clear the dungeon, I think I have the place to go, "Not here." If you're in a private party and everyone's friends, I could care less. I'm not expecting some perfect player either. I just don't like this idea that if this one person's fun is done in a way that hurts the run, that their one fun is higher than the 3 funs from the other player.

Excactly. Because some people spam blizzard 3 and then fire 3 in between the cast isn't something that contribute to the group nor does it make it fun for the rest. If they do it with their own friends however, I'm totally okay with it since they probably all agreed to it, so yes I agree with you too. And the last setence you said, I fully agree, that's what provoked me so much from that persons post too. They seem to ignore the rest and do fun for themselves...

I honestly like that people let me have fun while I let them have fun too. I don't mind if people are less skilled or whatever, because what matters to me is that they have fun and we actually get shit done. If we don't get shit done, thats a whole another story. And like jijfli said, if someone spams a certain skil just because they like it, they can do it somewhere else, not in my group.
