I came across something that annoys me yesterday when running one of the new dungeons in the push to get Gogonji to 60. It didn't happen to me, but instead to one of the DPS - a Ninja - who joined with the group.
You see, he was quick to mention that he was semi-new to the dungeon (understandable) and didn't know anything beyond the first boss (also understandable). The reason why he didn't know how to fight the second? Because he was kicked out of his last group for not knowing it. Rather than spend the half-second to explain the fight (which is stupidly easy to explain), that group's healer apparently decided to call him out and call him a moron for not knowing a fight in a dungeon that is less than a week old.
In what world is this crap okay? It's not like the EX Primal fights or Coil or something - it's one of the dungeons you gain access through going through the MSQ. You know, the thing everyone is doing right now. It's a learning experience for a majority of the player base right now, so why in the hell would someone get on someone else for not knowing the fight? Or, worse, votekick them from the group for it.
It gets even worse since, as I said, all it took was a half second to explain the fight. "Kill the adds, avoid the clouds, run glowing orbs into boss." That's it. That was my explanation of the fight for him, and he did perfectly fine. We got through the entire dungeon no problem (though healer gear continued to be scarce for me - hit 60 on that run, at least!), and moved merrily on our way afterward.
I mean... it didn't happen to me... but just the idea that there are jerkoffs that hold that level of elitist, arrogant nonsense with new content just seriously nettles me.
EDIT: And, on a more personal dungeon note - tanks, please stop moving OUT of the Sacred Soil I'm setting for you. There's a lot of adds and I'm trying to help mitigate the damage, and it does not work if you stand outside the blatantly obvious giant shell shield.
