So kinda yea.
But if u were actually self tanking the mobs urself then that calls for the
" tank bonus " yea?

If you let my cute little Eos take hate from you by herself, you shouldn't be a tank. Period. Point is, near constant tank bonuses give rise to tanks who don't know what Flash is, won't use Overpower, first Physick or Eos' Embrace will steal hate, severely undergeared or improper gear wearing spuds. And for those that suffer to get through the dungeon, it's that 'tank' that gets the bonus. Vote kick them, and an even worse one joins in. I'm thinking you fit this category, seeing how you took offense. Shoe fits, wear it.

The bonus isnt even that good?

Um, the bonuses are based on demand and DO update in real time. If you constantly open/close the DF window and check the item you're queuing for, it will change; sometimes from two seconds ago. This isn't being unfair to healers, it just meals there are more DPS and healers already in the queue and there are parties out there in desperate need of tanks.

Also, to the ones that say they get instant queues as healers even when it lists Tank as the bonus class -- same thing. That changes from one second to the next as parties fill up, and also the demand.

This is a factor beyond S-E's control. You NEED those so-called undeserving tanks to queue up, or you'll never see the gil bonus.

I think what OP is saying, is that players main a class other than tank but tank for insta queue and the bonus which isn't much. I use to main both tank and heals but found tanking in this game to not be very enjoyable. I set a moderate pace but had some dps that liked to pull for me while marking with a macro and it got old. I liked healing so I went that way. I find I am much more tolerant of wipes, even the dumb ones as a healer than as a tank and can stick with learning content longer that way.
