    What I find more interest isn't that there isn't people tanking.

    It's that when I do CT recently my wife as a warrior does /a Anyone want to MT?
    None of the tanks volunteer. It's like the fear stepping up and something bad happening. So last 4 runs she had to main tank the run which is fine but the game shouldn't be causing stress but because people get so crazy if something goes wrong there is a little more pressure making sure nothing goes sideways.

    She says one of her favorite thing however is when MT dies and she can hope in and voke to save the day. It's why she doesn't offer to MT and when she does this it makes her fell like the runs hero.

    Now my wife who is main Warrior, has no problem MT anything, As long as no one else wants to do it over her.
    She is just that way. Give everyone else a chance to step up before she just does it.

    I think CT just makes most players lazy. Repetitive farming makes me want to just click towers.

    I don't mind taking responsibility. I think there's more of an issue with players that falsely blame others because they don't know the game mechanics though. I call these Fake elitists.

    If you do not know the game mechanics while everyone else does and you fail because of that, how is pointing that out false? If they don't tell you, wont you repeat the same mistake the next go around? I rather a person tell me I'm lacking so I can improve than to go around causing my future parties headache because I am bad at my job.

    You reading it wrong. I said the one that is blaming others is usually the one that doesn't know the mechanics. I.E Healers that spam med 2 and then get mad that the tank can't hold aggro in Titan HM. It's nice to get some good advice from good players but most of them just pretenders.

    Hate to say it but I have to agree, when I tried to give someone in here advice on what they could do better the next time around, they get super defensive and begin to throw out insults because I didn't pity them. It was clear that they need to improve in tanking, but instead they rather blame everyone else but themselves for why things went wrong.
