Oh, just to add a bit of venting of my own to this thread...
I think I came across my first obviously bad instance of someone who had used a jump potion.
Was doing 50/60 Roulette on RDM, and got the original Wanderer's Palace. Yay! AoE central with me being able to spam my Doublecast Scatters! ... Or so I thought.
Before we even pull, the DRK is barking some strange orders ("Don't run ahead." "Let me pull.") and those sorts of things. We just tell him to pull big because we had a good AoE group and he, thankfully, does so.
... but he doesn't use Unleash. At all. He continues to try and single-target damage when he has groups of 6+ enemies sitting on him. Or, sitting on him until anyone else does anything else to generate even the slightest bit of threat. I don't remember how the conversations that followed went exactly (this was last week or so and I didn't bother committing it to memory), but... I vaguely remember how it went.
At some point - a couple pulls in or so - I throw something out akin to "Hey tank, you have an AoE aggro move. Please use it." I forget if he ignores me at first or if he responded right away, but at some point he counters that he's level 60 and he got dropped to 50. Which... shouldn't matter, right? DRK "gets" Unleash at level... 16-ish? He should have it.
So by the first boss we (the other members of the group get in on this too at some point) are in this big debate with the guy. Use Unleash; "I don't have yet." Yes you do it's level 16, "DRK got changed with SB." No, I'm both looking at a wiki and I'm talking with a friend on DRK and you should still have it. Back and forth until we finally get him to realize we're not talking about his level 54 AoE health drain move, but Unleash... which we had been calling Unleash the whole time.
The healer literally copies and pastes the description for Unleash from a wiki or something and the guy finally says "Oh, yeah. I have that. Sorry, I thought you meant something else."
Fortunately, once he "realizes" he has Unleash and starts using it, the rest of the run goes... all right. Minus his obvious lack of understanding how the dungeon works even though there was no new player bonus and he was apparently a level 60 DRK. Still, the rest of us knew what we were doing and we clear it out well enough and I duck on out.
Not the biggest problem in the world, but it irked me that the guy fought with us tooth and nail about whether or not he had an ability that DRK "has" at level 16, and going so far as to proclaim that the SB expansion moved it to such a high level that he didn't have access to it anymore.
