Tank disrespect.

[Ashkendor]

Your type of player are the ones that get vote kicked as well. If for some reason I choose to go as DD, and I'm pulling mobs it's because I feel your moving at a pace that is too slow for the group to handle.

If there are more than 2 mobs you can bet your a$$ i'll be using AoE moves right out the gate. If you purposefully kill others by not performing your role then you deserve a one way ticket out of the dungeon.

I ran into a DRG that played like this in Tam-Tara while doing low level roulette on SCH. The tank was new, so he wasn't moving fast; it was steady (he was marking mobs and such) but not fast enough for the DRG, who started pulling everything. I asked him twice to let the tank do his job (how else is he gonna learn?) and then put Eos away and stopped DPS'ing in favor of focus healing the tank. Sure enough, the DRG didn't even notice, ran into a room with four mobs, and died. He res'ed without a word and kept doing it. We got to the altar with two groups of mobs at it and he decided to pull that room. The tank managed to get the mobs off of him, but he was nearly dead for the entire encounter. I asked him again to quit pulling; he responded "Other people need healing too, you know." I'd been healing the THM when needed throughout the dungeon because he wasn't being an asshat. I told the DRG if he'd stop pulling on purpose I'd be happy to heal him. He ragequit as soon as the encounter ended. No big loss.

As soon as he left, I apologized for the drama and resummoned Eos. We had another DPS within a minute or two. If people aren't going to play nice, I'm certainly not going to enable their behavior.

I admittedly have a soft spot for new tanks. I like them to have every opportunity to end up as good ones.

This is the reason why i always ask if group wants medium or big pulls when doing DF roulettes, and i usually wait response from healer and not from DPS as its pretty much up to them how much i can pull.

Yup. I always ask. I don't assume everyone wants a speed run even if they're geared for it.

Pretty much this. If its a random group, Im willing to go at a pace and figure out what my healer can/cannot handle. I might be the one who's holding the enemies attention but they're the ones who are keeping us all alive.

Now a Free Company run is an entirely different story in regards to pulls. -chuckles-

Bahaha. My FC parties end up with ridiculously huge pulls for them to nuke. It's fun as hell. xD
