Most of mine as of late are grumbling about idiots in dungeons while trying to get Nexus items. The tanks who are also on Nexus trying to rush with fresh DPS, the guy in a mix of Soldiery and Poetic tank gear still doing single pulls with two BLMs on hand, people showing up with PvP leftside and spiritbonding right side, people forgetting dungeons are level-adjusted and still trying to act like they (or I, more frequently) have their full level-50 capability. You know, "the usual."
My most recent, though, is a Qarn HM run I had a couple days back that I spoke rather emphatically about over FC and LS chat later. Had two fresh DPS, tank didn't bother letting us stop to explain the fights, so all THREE of them die to quicksand on the first boss (after going the first couple "rounds" breaking every limb but the glowing one). Tank releases, one of the DPS follows suit, so reviving them is right out. So I just kite the boss until he's dead, go me.
Second boss, I explain the fight while we're beating up one of the giant head things. I tell the DPS to kill the adds to keep things clean and simple. Tank says I should kite the adds. Hahaha, no. Fortunately, the DPS listen to me over the tank and we have no problems. Last boss was a mummyfest, but we managed that as well.
Still not as bad as the Hullbreaker run where I had a similar situation (rushing tank, two fresh DPS), because the tank THERE would rush into the boss fights before the DPS could even catch up and get them locked out - which was obviously their fault. Also, he tried to tell me how I'm "supposed" to heal and that's a major no-no when you're the idiot making huge pulls and trying to use Holmgang like it's Hallowed Ground.
... I will be so glad once I'm done with my Zodiac, I swear.
