    People are doing that nowadays.
    Because they are dumb XD. If the OT's are not taking it then just pass it to somebody else like anyone else is fine so why they go for the MT i have no idea lol. Ideally should be OT's but i find in DF most Tanks are just there for the fast queue time they have no intention of doing anything at all. When it comes to be MT they all stand there looking at each other until somebody finally pulls because of people getting annoyed.

    The OT's will do basically nothing if you are lucky one might try pulling adds on Cerberus. With no OT around for the Dragonfly a person will just stand still dying XD. Still the funniest thing on that boss is that some people still have not figured out what to do with the purple and orange marks. You just see them get marked then they run in circles and on the purple one they are being chased by 3-4 people trying to save them lol.

    They are actually either there for the guaranteed rolls, or running tank because (like you said) other tanks can't be trusted to grab the adds and clump them. This and Syrcus Tower are the two instances where tanks have the highest que timers because there's only room for one. Can get in as a DPS in sub-5 minutes, healer idk (5-10?) but tank ques can go 20+ :d

    Ouch, I'm on Aether, and I have never waited for 5+mins queueing solo as tank for either of these instances.

    Whenever I OT, I position myself to get the dragonflies right off, and have CDs ready. I pop one just before the first hit, and.... just before it goes off, a DPS runs in, grabs the tether from me, runs around in circles and dies. I just... I have no words sometimes. This isn't an isolated incident, it happens nearly every freaking time x_x I've stopped bothering to Cover them when they do this, because if I do, they run over and pass it on.

    Once when I Covered someone with a purple marker, they sprinted away from me and got out of Cover range before the hit fell and one-shotted them. I just... Yeah.

    The problem isn't just the OTs, though I'll agree that most tanks just queue so they can be bad DPS, especially on Aether. I wrote a post about this, and the responses from tanks speak for themselves:
