First incident:
Alliance Roulette, I ended up in CT. I know that's not original. What was original was one of the tank's behaviors. Alliance B's tank would take aggro then move just enough to make the boss take two steps in the direction of the tank, and she'd keep doing this REPEATEDLY every couple of moments until she'd hit the wall but she wouldn't stop there! She'd then move either clockwise or counterclockwise around the borders of the boss chambers. She did this on all of the bosses. I was on Ninja, so you can imagine the salt but it wasn't just me and the melees who were pissed off, the casters were too because the boss stepping away kept interrupting their casts!

When it was all over the tank apologized and claimed it was her first time using controller. >_>

Ha ha...and I'm a ufiti's uncle. Did she have "Autorun" binded to a skill or something? I use mouse/keyboard so I wouldn't know.
To give the tank the benefit of the doubt, if you have controller drift (e.g., when the stick is supposedly 'centered' it is actually reading as slightly to one side), this is more or less what happens. It's one reason that many things support controller calibration.

One of the DPS in my static had her controller semi-die one night and develop drift, so midway through one pull she started just sloooooowly edging towards the death wall every time she tried to stand still.

And if it's your first time on controller, you may not realize the controller in question is suffering from controller drift until you're already playing.

(That said, saying "it's my first time on controller" versus "my controller has lost its mind and seems to think I need to walk in this direction at all times" does seem a little weird.)
