Which I wouldn't have problems with if it also didn't mean we get the OTHER Atma/Nexus-level folks that want to just rush through regardless of group composition and experience. It's cool (and pretty awesome) if it's a full group of us and we're all on the level - steamroll the dungeon, get done, hope for drops and move on. It's not so great when it's just me and either a.) the tank or b.) ONE of the DPS and the other half of the group is new. Because, invariably, the other experienced folk is going to want to rush and not explain things, which leads to wipes and them complaining about how it's our fault.
And... I feel kinda mad at myself at times when I've been running the dungeons for a while and get into a sort of "automatic coast" mode. I find myself not bothering with switching to Cleric Stance to help DPS as much, grumbling if the DPS/tank is doing stuff I don't like (except if they're new), and generally being a grump on autopilot. It's usually when I hit that point that I go "welp, I'm done for the day" and switch over to Chachan to try and get me some RPs.
