Tryharding 101: How to talk like a totally elite bad@ss player in an MMO, written by Lastelli. Now in your local bookstore or in e-book format.

This is in no way tryharding, this is is how 95%+ of dungeons go. 1-3 people say hi at the start of the dungeon, tank pulls wall to wall, healer heals and casts AoE when they can, and DPS do their AoE rotation. As a main tank, it's been my experience that I rarely run into a no-dps healer or DPS that doesn't use their AoEs on a large pull. In the thousands of dungeons I've run since 2.0 release, there's been maybe somewhere between 2 to 4 dozen times that I got DPS who only do single rotation on trash mobs or a healer that asks for small pulls at the start. Now I'll usually check healers gear at the start of a dungeon to see if they are decent geared and if it's even remotely decent, I'll start with wall to wall, and we wipe, I determine if we need to slow down cause healer couldn't handle it or if we continue with big pulls because we wiped because of something that won't be an issue in the rest of the pulls in a dungeon. If you consider either of the above elitism, then 99% of the player base must seem like elitists to you.

How is any of that tryharding, or being "elite"? That's literally the base line for what you should be able to do. You should be able to not stand in AoEs, you should be able to do at least a basic rotation, and you should be able to handle wall to wall pulls.

Good lord... Please, make a working blacklist (not this obscure thing you call a blacklist) so that I never meet anyone I don't want to see.
