Signs of a bad tank

1. this is the biggest indicator aside from seeing people lose aggro to the dps/healers repeatedly/never use stances correctly etc - the need to insult other people to make yourself feel better about your tank skills.

Don't be that one idiot/indecent human being. there is -never- an excuse to insult others.

i mean being rude is just being a bad player not just tank

IMO a bad player is a bad everything. it doesn't matter if they do what would be a good job tanking if they ruin the experience for everyone with them.

So you came to the forums to let all your anger out instead of using a diary or face book (since most ppl use it).

Don't get me wrong, I agree with thr other peeson and you to say that bad players are just bad players. Some improve others won't.

I have seen bad DD/DPS doing the same. Slow killing mobs, stand on aoes, stand next to the tank to receive damage and insult others and bilittle them to feel better about themselves.

Are you going to provide us with a good criticism such as giving ideas on how to make them improve?

maybe implement some sort of penalty created by SE where a new player will need to actually pass 80% of the tes becoe letting them continue in the MSQ?

That's the point. Being a tank has barely anything to do with it. More like signs of a jerk.

Actually...while the OP was short...its certainly better than your post...in terms of tone. That and you assume everyone uses face book or a diary...this is the FFXIV forums...can't be any more appropriate than this.

As to the subject matter... Tanks who don't communicate...who don't pay attention...who don't hold aggro..who pull and ditch....who face roll damage....are a stupid tank in my book. :P

And if you need advise on the above? You're in trouble. Just my 2 Gil in the pot.

If they feel the need to insult others to make themselves feel better about their skills what does it say about their skills?
