Here's an opportunity for me to get back to the main topic.

While I certainly can't speak for everyone, what I have noticed is that many of the "tanks" in PUG's these days don't main as Tanks. A lot of us who do main tanks have become rather burned out by how the community treats us. Many are tired of always being forced to speed run, or other players not bothering to work together, or just outright blaming us for their screw-ups. We all screw-up. but slinging blame doesn't help.

Anywho, older veteran tanks eventually just get tired of it and don't PUG as tanks anymore. To fill the void, many DPS'ers and Healers level up a tank job and come in with their preconceived notion of how tanks should be. (many of which leave us with the bad tank stereotypes). I, for one, find it really hard to pick up my axe for someone I don't know unless I see their need is great.

That being said, if I was on your server, knowing now how much you would need a clear, I'd probably help. All I can do from Leviathan server, though, is wish you the best of luck.

I am not an "elitist", just a tired veteran.
