Entitled DPS, please stop being entitled

Yes, it is. And until the duty finder becomes flooded with tanks and dps are scarce, you just have to deal with it. I deal with it, so you can too.

So let me get this straight (because I queue as all three roles). When you queue up as a tank, and get into a duty finder group...you honestly don't give two shits about the other three people there with you? You just take off and do what you want to do in that dungeon regardless of whatever reason the other three may have for being there?

First, don't try and bait me with a loaded question. Your suggestion is enthymemic and sensationalized.

Nothing about what i said suggests that when i tank i don't take a careful look at: party composition, gear levels, each member's level in relation to the dungeon, the potential that someone is still relatively new (if not first run, then perhaps second or third [i can sometimes glean this based on pink/green dungeon equipment]), or any number of other factors when i decide how to proceed through the dungeon. 9/10 my decision represents a happy medium where everyone is mostly satisfied and i'm walking out w/ 2-3 coms (closing in on about 2500 now). I do my absolute best to ensure that the run is smooth and mutual goals are accomplished at a reasonable pace (reasonable depending entirely on the factors i previously mentioned :P).

What i won't do is sacrifice my interests, no, not even for 3 other group members. When compromise happens to deliver some of what everyone wants, everyone gets to be dissatisfied to the same degree. If they want to kick me and wait for another tank they are more than welcome to but i won't be putting up with any crap.

as i said, when i dps, i defer to the tank's decision making skills (even if they are lacking or only pursuing their own interests), and when i tank I expect the same level of deference.
