Just had a tank join a dungeon with me...

Lucky escape if you ask me. Would you really want to spend up to 2 hrs with that jack ass? XD

[Ryknow]

Saying that, the other day I had a dungeon and was the tanks 1st time. So i was explaining the tactics. Well the whm and drg had a tantrum and decided to say "afk 30 mins" anyway needless to say it was fun MPKing once again! Made my day tbh. ^_^

This is why I make sure to click on join in progress on dungeons I've done before. One group told me their tank left after fulfilling his FC hunting log or whatever. Just terrible.

Where do these douche players keep coming from!? Seriously!

World of Warcraft and League of Legends

Actually, you don't really see this particular behavior in WoW. You encounter a lot of stupid people, no doubt about that, but it's not much different than you would find anywhere else.

Actually, I have personally experienced this kind of behavior in WoW.

I just want the OP to know that not all tanks are jerks like this. I am a 46 Paladin, I have never went AFK, never asked how long it took my DPS to get a DF, and then gloat about my near immediate parties. I have not insulted my healer for being poor at their job, I offer them guidance, and if they do not take it, then it is only 90 minutes max I have to deal with them. I do get frustrated with DPS who cannot stick to the mobs I am marking and then I have to try to switch back and forth between 2 mobs to keep hate, rather than spamming flash to hold add aggro as we 1 by 1 them. I do not insult them, I offer suggestions, if they take my suggestions and have more situation awareness, than I have helped improve a future parties experience with them. If they don't, well then I know how to hold just enough hate to let them take a lesson in death-ga but not lose my other party members.


I know that tanks are a commodity in DF, and I have personally done dungeons like Stone Vigil 15 times, I won it on my first go through, but hey, when quests run out and FATE is lagging like crazy, I do dungeons for experience points. I get points and gear and on the other side of the coin, I am helping more DPS get through these dungeons. Win-win.

I also have never quite because of 1 wipe, or 100 wipes. I really hate the people who quit after a wipe, it tells me you are unable to adapt and have an entitlement issue. I really hate when people screw up and quit.

There are plenty of good tanks, as in good people as well, out there.

Before anyone moved he asked how long the DPS had waited. They replied 30-35 minutes. Tank says "that's not nearly long enough." and goes AFK for 10 minutes before coming back and saying "I'm going to reset your queue for you. The best part is the 15 minutes ban from duty finder STILL gets me another dungeon before you clowns."

And then he left the group.

Good times.

Yup. This community has officially hit rock bottom.

we need a blackwall of the shame for this sort of people... really.
they don't make the community better and worst make the game for the other horrible... no reason to hold on against this sort of person.

I wonder why so many people don't play tanks or healers, they are fun jobs. Best part is that you are needed everywhere, and after playing dps you know how a good tank plays and how a bad tank plays. Level more tanks guys! it's really fun and awesome to be wanted in a videogame.... *cries in corner*

My biggest problem is with other tanks. I haven't had (m)any complaints from heal/dps

My lone bad experience to date was with a dps job. I found a WP group through the DF (as SMN), and the group decided we were going to do a speed run. So everyone ran off and reached the first boss, whereupon the other dps - a BLM - ran over to one of the corners near the first boss. That activated the boss, which meant a party wipe instead of a raise for the tank. Immediately after this little stunt, the BLM started to complain over and over and over again about how the tank was complete crap, didn't know his job, didn't have the right gear, etc... Finally, after we reached the first boss again, the healer got annoyed enough to leave the party. And that was the end of that.
