Tanks and Healers: Check your privileges

[Souljacker]

Check your privileges, ok we get fast queues. But we also have to deal with, It's all your fault when something goes wrong.

Sometimes it IS your fault. That quote being thrown around that if the tank dies it's the healer's fault is only true if the tank was pulling appropriately to begin with. You can't treat every run like a brayflox speed run. Last week I was in a party where we kicked the tank because he was abusive after he pulled wayyyyy more than the party (and he) could handle. We didn't mind working harder, but the guy was abusive citing the very sentiment in this thread: "I am a tank, I am more important than you, if you don't play my way I will drop and get instaqueue while you suffer, etc etc etc".

We booted him. This attitude is incredibly toxic and shouldn't exist.

I agree in that case I am 100% on your side. I play PLD/RNG/WHM(48) but this isn't what I'm talking about.

If people are being tools kick them, No need for them to bring down your expirice. But I'm talking about a normal trash pull and someone end up pulling a few extra mobs or this or that. And things going sideways. There is a thread about if you play TANK don't have tunnel vision. While I do agree with that. If someone agros mobs and you don't see it because they are behind your point of view. It your fault that they agro and someone died.


Or it can be . O it's a game lets have fun who cares if it takes an extra 5 mins to run a dungeon.


I see as many DPS get upset when I don't speed run when I can.

That guy deserved being booted.

However, if I get a dungeon I don't like, I leave. If I'm not having fun, I'm not gonna "tough it out". I don't belittle and berate the party, I just leave.
