It doesn't seem that hard.
The problem is that politely telling that level 80 healer to stop spamming cure 1/benefic/physik and to use their full kit and dps is "not being a decent human being" in some people's books. Or Telling that one tank to actually use their mitigation and stop saving them for "emergencies" that will never come. Or telling that DNC to stop using their single target kit and to use their dances when a big pull is going on, etc etc.

Some would classify these actions as "Not being a decent human being" when I would say the person not being decent is the one dragging everyone else down, intentionally or no.

People have gotten bans for trying to give advice and are afraid to give guidance to people playing badly, even at 80 where basic competency is expected and you think this advice wouldn't be needed, but sadly is, because this rather loosely worded ToS allows for bans over giving said polite advice. Provided the person having the advice given to them either decides to think "How dare they say my way of playing isn't the way to do things" or just reports for the sake of it, perhaps even trying to bait out such responses.
