Please implement something to teach players how to play

So, does this sort of thing happen to you often, or was it a one-time thing that sticks in your memory because you were feeling bored that day and wanted to find something to vent about?

Was the person level 80? Or level 75? Were you complaining in party chat, or did you suffer in silence? Did you vote kick that person (or persons, if this is an ongoing thing you encounter)? Did the run-through take the entire 90 minutes? Was the job a caster? A tank? A healer? One of the physical DPS?

Were you looking at the battle chat in-game at the time? Or did you just use that forbidden utility to spec out what was happening after the fact? [I have enough problems keeping track of my own actions in-game, let alone those of the other 3 players in an instance -- do you have god-like powers to do both?]

I've played, leveled, and messed around on every job long enough to have their basic rotations on muscle memory so I can identify stuff on the fly. This game isn't overly difficult and you can observe someone else if you're familiar with the visual ques and mechanics of a dungeon. I can do most of the 71-80 dungeons without paying attention what so ever.

As far as the forbidden tool. I'm a console player so I don't have access to it without going through a ludicrous amount of hoops and jumps that can get my whole PSN account banned. Then as mentioned prior, if you know what icons on other jobs mean you can easily identify stuff that's there.

I'm also a console player and have everyone's skills set to limited so I tend to identify skills by sound. Then there's a few skills I know what they look like by the icon that shows up on their bar. My main is a healer so I do occasionally look at people's bars. I used to get people grumpy with me back when I'd get Garuda Extreme and I'd state after about the 5th wipe before she does Aerial Blast that the group didn't have enough dps even with echo build up due to still seeing too many phases. Play this game long enough or run something often enough you don't need said tool to know dps is low or high. The highest phase change I've ever seen was in an E12 where we went to the save the memories part after the 1st Ifrit aoe. That was in a group that had like four people with TEA glamours.
