Including yourself, and you might even be doing yourself a disservice, as if you just reset, at least 2-3 players will learn from their previous mistake, and you will kill the boss faster. Then there is the fact that if you do clear it, you just carried three to seven other players and prevented those that failed the mechanics a second chance to do them, and they end up learning nothing.
I mean I get that but at the end of the day I'd rather just do it with my 2 friends while I heal them and continue on I won't lose sleep if the healer gets upset, now I can understand being like "oh crap I stood in the electro thing in Dead Ends!" then sure, whatever, but if they're actively dying on every boss (which has been happening a lot recently) then I'll just continue. I get it's probably faster but it's just eh, it's not like i'm bullying them or anything just would rather clear while they run back even if it isn't super optimal we're still losing time regardless, but I get your point we are all humans behind the computer and I do take that into the group dynamics.
