Mostly I think the event brought out some people who might never normally run in dungeons or even in groups. There are lot of solo players out there for whom delves are the closest they get to dungeons.
A few highlights for me were :
- Half way through dungeon, this person decided to allocate all their CP points .. 5 mins later, still waiting
- Cp200+ turning up as DPS with 9k health and no food or any idea about needing it
- l88t dude runs into dungeon immediately on porting, and carrys on running until first boss wiping everyone else
- light bow spammers ...
- 3 people leaving on first boss of Spindle 1 as it was "too hard" .. was on my healer and can solo it
- My healer doing 75% of the damage even with cp160+ sorcs in the group
Had a mare of a run today in ICP, one DPS had 30k hp, the other 22k. Neither of them understood that standing in the water during the flesh Sculptor fight dealt damage to them.
Thankfully I was a fake healer, and was able to DPS through the dungeon regardless. And with Twilight I was even able to keep the monkeys alive for the whole thing.

Trust me, I have even seen grand overlords who play like that. Including backpedalling and holding block with a bow equiped.Light attack. Light attack. Light attack. Light attack.Light attack.

That's not even unique to PvE. I've seen one guy with 3-4 stars in PvP doing the same combo. He is probably quite limited in intellect if he played enough to get that rank but not learn anything more doing it

Another was a fake tank mag sorc who literally couldn't keep himself alive on Vet Elden 1 and blamed the healer for not healing and dps for being bad. This guy was generally known to be pretty trash in the raid community and blames others for how bad he is at the game. It's funny, the people who talk the most trash and stubborn are the worst players in the game

2. People with high CP 300-600+ but theyre only doing under 10k dps in VET dungeon.
3. people under CP 160 queuing VET dungeon thinking that they can do it perfectly fine.
4. Low DPS who thinks that it's okay NOT doing mechanics in DLC dungeon normal mode. Example : WGT blue flame brazier boss, Cradle of shadows light brazier boss / interupt, etc.
5. Tank who use Sword and Shield but doesnt have taunt skill slotted.
6. Tank who just wants to tank 1 mob, leaving the rest for the dps and healer to tank.
7. Templar healer who spamed Breath of Life over and over again for no reason in VET dungeon til running out of magicka.
8. a DPS who only use necrotic orb to dps, his rotation was spamming like 6-8 necrotic orbs til he ran out of magicka, and then filled his magicka to full with heavy attack, rinse and repeat. (this was in vet dungeon)
sometimes idk if those people were trolling or they're really dont know what they're doing. The skill gap in this game is like heaven and hell, you can have MAX CP but still dont know what are you doing. Maybe they're the one who farmed dolmen in Al'Akir from lv 1 to CP 690.

The ones I struggle with are people still frost heavy attacking.
I'm a tank main, I had to deal with this for a solid 3 months after the changes, people kept forgetting. But it still happens on a regular basis, I even had a 330cp guy doing it the entire dungeon even after I called him out, messaged him while I watched him run around the entire room confused.
I could forgive it when it first got changed, or if it was an accident and it happens once or twice, but its getting old now.

Sounds like three jerks.

Literally had a cp 330 sorc heavy frost attacking today with pets and wondering why the boss kept running over to him and killing him. He rage quit after I explained what was going on.(πーπ)The players that bother me the most are the ones who don't answer if I ask if they've done the dungeon before or not. Then after watching them wipe 3-4 times I explain mechanics and they reply with 'oh i didnt know that lol i never did this lol'. Just be unfront and I'm sure someone will explain things to you. It's really not a big deal.

I actually stopped explaining mechanics before the fight unless someone asks. Too much work for too little gain. The only one I'll warn people about is Cirenas the Shepherd on Fungal Grotto II but only because I don't want to spend forever and a day breaking through her resistances after the DPS kill her spiders. On my healer, I'll ask them to stay close to me on the Engine Guardian's poison phase, but that's it.
Everything else, I find that people are much more respectful about hearing the mechanics after we've/they've died to them. I'll say something if I notice someone struggling with a mechanic, but for the most part, I just carry on tanking until there is a problem.

And yeah, I really hate when someone gets aggro and starts running away. Fake tanks are very common in normal dungeons are this is very irritating. Of course, these dungeons are easy enough without a real tank or a healer but why run around like a chicken?

Why would you not kick low lvl underskilled players?
