Yesterday I had a Lost City HM where the MNK and NIN couldn't seem to understand that the tank is supposed to pull mobs. We had a new AST who had very clearly never been in the dungeon before and the poor guy must have wanted to kill himself by the end. (He did remarkably well for forced large pulls while not being very well geared).
But it's like.....DPS. Please. I don't mark things for my health. (OK, that's literally why I mark things. I don't like dying). If I haven't run ahead because the healer's getting strained and your DPS really isn't that good, it's not an invitation to run ahead and tag all the enemies for me. We'll get to them. I promise.
Somehow, my LotA run went better, despite people mostly ignoring mechanics. We nearly had a couple wipes on bone Dragon because platinals are just too difficult I guess. Then my party had a BLM who really couldn't understand that he was supposed to stand on the platform for Atomos (we had a perfect distribution of roles, two physical, two magic DPS) and the offtank had to go run onto it. The whole time, all of our party is asking the guy to step on the pad. He was just slightly left of it. Not even up by the Atomos. Just....not on the pad. Once all the common languages and auto-translate are used, I stop feeling bad if new people can't read, respond, or show any indication that they were doing something the rest of the party was begging them not to do. He got dismissed by the rest of the group.
