Of Tanking and WoD

[Mahri]

That's where you and I differ. Personally, I'll see it and take it as a challenge. When that happens, I'll usually have a threat-battle with 'em.
If someone asked me why I do this, I wouldn't really know the answer. By thinking about it for a second, I suppose it's because another tank is probably the only thing that can provide challenging enmity to benchmark against, so it's making me naturally try and see if I can match/beat it, despite the risk involved (spinning the boss, getting us or others cleaved, etc.)

See, now.

This is not good.

The competition is completely in your head, and all you're doing is creating a distraction by forcing your ego-trip onto others rather than helping the group succeed. You are choosing to be part of the problem, and not part of the solution.

Please do not do this.
