Instead of assuming someone's an idiot, try to do it the right way first, and if people are confused, try to explain it to them.

A week or two ago, I was a level 16 SK invited to an oasis orc highway group with some combination of chanters, druids, shamans and a single bard. Before I came there the bard was pulling multiples and all the casters were rooting every mob in a pull and burning them down individually, with aggro flying around everywhere, and they kept doing it even after I joined.

I started PMing a friend on steam about how retarded these people were, but after a while I decided that there was no reason for me to get mad and maybe they didn't know how well I could hold aggro. So I told them all what to do, the bard pulled 4, I DCed them all on me, and they were able to aoe all 4 down with no threat to the casters in the time that it would have taken them to kill one. We kept doing this for hours with no problems.

tl;dr: Before you assume everyone is retarded, try to get them to do it the right way - you might be surprised.
