They'll probably be long gone by the end of the third month of payed subscription.

Tanking isn't that hard as long as you remember a few basic tenets:

1. Mark your targets
2. Switch occassionally to build AoE aggro (or use abilities like Flash)
3. Read up a bit before entering a fight you've never done
4. And most importantly, don't be afraid to ask for help.

Find someone in your FC or on the forums, or reddit or whatever and pick their brain. The key to being a good tank is knowledge.

World of Warcraft

That is not how a protector of heroes should behave.

@ Welsper59 - I love your lion gif :D

On topic: Stories like there are really depressing. I never really understand why people do stuff like this in games.

If someone ever tells me to leave a group for not knowing a battle like the back of my hand when it's my first time doing it, I'll just say the 2 greatest words in the English language:

Make me.

No, just WoW, that's the problem.

As much as I hate to admit it, FFXIV is turning to be one of the most toxic communities I've had the displeasure to experience.

People complaining about other players watching cutscenes, being a jerk through the Duty Finder, elitism, self-centered groups that just care about themselves, etc.

Back in FFXI if you did something like that, your reputation followed you for quite some time.

Man, almost in all dungeon runs, majority of the assholes are either tank or healers. Is it because they are so scarce that they think they should feel superior than everyone else?

In my experience, tanks are the ones who mostly complain when one of us makes a slight mistake.

It's easy to come to that assumption from a different role. Your perspective is different because you haven't seen it from the other side (and thus haven't experienced the DPS who are morons).
