Boy, let me tell you, the name says it all. I was kinda leery of posting this here, because this guy is a JP player, and I think it's unfair to post a flame unless the flamee can defend themselves. But this guy's playing was indefensible anyway, so here we go. 
Now keep in mind, we only invited him because he was literally the ONLY tank available within 3 levels of our group. I suppose the fact that he was LFG for so long despite being the only tank should have been a warning, but we just wanted to xp sometime that night.
We get to camp OK, we're going after gobs at the Terrigan outpost. We all buff and eat food. Regret eats a Tonosama Rice Ball.
Now, I know it's great tank food for a SAM- but he's a PALADIN. At the very least he should be using boiled crab, if you're going to be cheap about food.
We start fighting, and I go through my usual sequence, Refresh me, debuff, Refresh tank, yadda yadda. I notice Regret seems to be losing a LOT more life than normal. Do a double-take. Yep, we're about 1/4 of the way through the fight, and he still has FULL MP. I think he cast a single Cure 3 that fight, and that was all. Hate was bouncing all over.
When the WHM capped his Evasion for the level, he decided he'd had enough, and started trying to convince the PLD to actually cure himself. Repeatedly saying "Regret {Cure} III ---> Regret" only garnered a response of {Um . . .} from the PLD. Oh but what's that? He's more than happy to toss of a Holy at the mob!
I should also mention that although I didnt check his gear myself, others in the group did. His 2 most noteable pieces of equipment were the Honor Sword (Yes, that's the level 41 PLD AF weapon) and a Pilferers Earring. Doubleyou Tee Eff. This is a level 57-58 party, btw.
So yeah, I'd recommend you skip this guy if you're needing a tank, unless your idea of a great time is barely scraping ypur way to Chain 2 and 1800 xp an hour. :evil:

I gained multiple levels in evasion though, which was kinda rad. :lol: My head was hurting by the end of the fight since our whm would have to cure so much to keep him alive and got hate, causing the mob to run all over the place pretty frequently (usually until myself or the mnk got hate again). Not a great day. Horrible xp / hr, etc. But we got our whm a lot of cheap scrolls he won't have to buy later from the gob alchemists!
