Does tanking carry more responsibility than most?

I agree, but tanking also involves more dealing with party members it seems. They remember how a run was done before and some peeps are inflexible and rude and expect every tank to do everything the same way. As long as an approach works, its just details then.

Problem is there are some really rude pushy ppl in the game, especially ones wanting to hurry through their dailies. They tell me to gogogogo as a tank lol. Other ppl are just mellow and I find playing with cool ppl things actually end up going better on a run.

Not as many commendations as HEALER or TANK by far.

I once got three recommendations on a guildhest as a healer except I tossed out one maybe two cures the entire fight. People see they had mostly full health the entire time and just assume it was me and not their own ability at dodging/negating damage.

I totally agree! As a tank new to high level dungeons I get people who just want to speed through it and I feel the pressure to go faster than I'm comfortable with, which gives me little room to really learn what I'm doing or lead the group effectively. Usually it's fine when I'm backed by three very good players, but ironically the pushier a player is, the worse they seem to be at the game >_>
