I didn't mention that because lack of team playing ability is pretty common on any online game. :)
Current PCs:
NWN1: Soppi Widenbottle, High Priestess of Yondalla.
NWN2: Gruuhilda, Tree Hugging Half-Orc

definitely a game that favours sticking together, Officer at front, Tech and Spec at back medic in the middle works best in my experience from insane and hard so far

In my experience, 95% of all players do this.
Yeah, like fluff.

Zing!

What bugs me most about behaviour are people who think it's a shooting gallery and not a team game, who value shooting at moving things more than sensible tactics. Nothing exemplifies this better as the usual person walking into your line of fire despite you having covered that angle rather nicely, just so they can shoot at those mobs too once their side is clear! It always makes me groan.

I could do with the game offering some slightly less hectic / not unlimited alien levels that really focus on tactics, covered advancement and ammo conservation, but even without that running around like mad thinking you're the only cowboy on the prairie is rather counter-productive.
The power of concealment lies in revelation.
