The general player base needs to improve

[Bourne_Endeavor]

Gordias and A3S are a good example. People were surely very motivated with those turns and their tight DPS checks. They were so motivated that more than half the playerbase quitted the game. The term "reasonably" is ambiguous.

I like how you omitted context here. That quote was in response to dungeons. Savage isn't meant for people learning how to improve from the ground up. You're comparing apples with oranges. Regardless, the developers outside acknowledge they didn't test Gordias properly.

So what if they don't want to AOE, what are you going to do about it? Ask SE to make people use AOE actions on your dungeon runs? There's a limit to what SE can do. You guys think it's SE who is spoiling people by making things too easy. I don't agree with that. I think what we have now is what most people legit want, and I think you are in the minority here. Hunts are a good example of this. They are extremely easy content with high reward. At times, they are so crowded my screen can't even load the amount of people that are gathered next to them.

Happily initiate a Vote Dismissal. I suppose you're okay with tanks refusing to hold aggro or healers opting not to heal. After all, if the baseline is only doing what you want, we can extent that standard to every job.

Feel free to vote kick anyone in a dungeon who isn't doing the rotation you feel they should be doing, go ahead, you could be kicking someone who either just made it to 70, isn't very familiar with their aoe rotation or simply wants to put into practice their single target rotation because they are still practicing it. I'm certainly proud of have never done so and I will continue doing the same thing.

AoE abilities are acquired pre-50. In fact, the only job that doesn't have an aoe before 50 is Astro; a healer. If you've made it to level 70 and haven't figured out your aoe rotation, you're not bothering to read your tooltip—at which point, I couldn't care less if you "just made it to 70." That isn't an excuse when you had almost thirty levels to learn what those abilities did. If they want to practice their single target rotation, do it on the boss not when the tank pulls ten mobs.
