Agreed.
It's simply common sense that whenever you do an activity that is either team-based or takes place in a confined space where everyone's action are bound to affect others you try to not negatively affect others to the best of your abilities.
And "to the best of your abilities" doesn't mean pull off pro gamer moves - but try your best to be a teamplayer and make it a smooth experience for everyone by keeping it mind that everything one player fails to do another has to make up for.
Adjust the pull speed to the party, don't netflix and pick your nose if no healing is needed, use aoes in big pulls, use your mitigation (doesn't have to be used well, just use it), don't stand in the bad and stay in heal range of the healer, use cooldowns as often as you remember them etc.
No reason to make this out as some elitist bs and go around lamenting "b-b--but my FUN" - you're not the only player in a party, everyone's fun and smooth experience is equally important. This is at the same time nobody's and everybody's game.

You don't go on a open for all football field and start randomly run in someone else's way - there is no explicit rule against doing so but it obviously affects them negatively. If you play as a goalkeeper you don't randomly stand next to your goal because nobody told you that a goalkeeper should... you know... guard the goal a little bit?
You don't go ice skating in a rink open to public and stand around in the busiest parts and start a nice group chat even if there is no explicit rule against doing so. Nor do you practice fancy things in the middle of the most-used path, you go into centre where you're least likely to disturb anyone.
You don't go into a supermarket and tak care of that really long phone call in the middle of the only small path to another aisle because there are no rules against it and maybe it's your first time in a supermarket and you're also drunk and didn't sleep.
Not everything should be spelled out by the law for you, some things should simply be a matter of common sense.

But if you really don't want to be a teamplayer, there are trusts. One of the reasons they keep expanding on that feature is that people who'd rather play it like a single-player game can. And if your mindset is "I play what I want and I don't care about the rest of the party" then this is for you.
And if you don't like trusts because they're slower then congratulations, now you understand why people don't like it if others can't show some basic decency and respect towards other people's time by trying to be a teamplayer. Don't be a trust.
