If running a parser makes you cynical and depressed, why do it?

Roulettes are optional, and story content is in them specifically so new players won't have ridiculously long queue's. You get rewarded for running them, and get rewarded moreso for running them with new players. That's your incentive to deal with the pitfalls of running casual content with new players. If it's not worth it then again, roulettes are optional.

Also, if it were an obligation then you could report people for not knowing basic stuff. The only obligations are to contribute and make progress.

Yeah it's called kicking people for having difference in playstyles. Don't BabyRage at me if I do it because I repeatedly tell you to AOE or to not eat the AOES lmao. I don't go out of my way to correct people most of the time since its really trivial. But if I SEE YOU NOT AOEING or doing some mad chaos, you'd best believe I'm going to gently remind you a few times and if you still refuse you're getting the boot.

How do you contribute and make progress when you don't have a sturdy foundation? Do babies start running before they start walking now or what?

You can technically vote kick someone for any reason, but if you're kicking new players for not knowing their class or abilities it likely won't end well for you if the new player decides to report you.

Gentle reminders are fine. Even a vote kick is fine if the group is stalemated because of a player who doesn't know his class and can't figure it out right there. If things are moving along fine, however, there's really no justification. It's just being petty.

Sorry, homie, but if i have to tell you to AoE or the basics of your rotation more than once in a level 75 dungeon you're getting the boot. And if youre wearing terrible gear itll be the swiftest, most silent kick in the midwest. "Well, there wasnt a wipe," is an awful justification for being a bad party member.

I have tons of patience for new players. That patience starts wearing mighty thin at level 60 and up.
