    I always have the attitude as a dps (or in any role), that majority rules....period. A stalemate can happen but thats not too often lol

    Take a vote and see what the majority want. Its a fair way to settle things, if ppl want GUARANTEED full clears then make your own party orrrr.. if tanks want to skip 1/2 a dungeon GUARANTEED, then form your own party as well. Anything beyond that ...its a lottery and the majority should be the determining factor if using DF....nothing else.

    Just being a tank doesnt not give any bonus rights to determine....anything lol

    A tank can not solo dungeons, nor can a healer, nor a dps, its a TEAM effort and therefore a team decision about full or partial clears.

    No role has any more "say" in anything...the pace is simply what a tank thinks he/she can handle without dying while COUNTING on the healer to survive and COUNTING on the dps to actually kill in a timely manner...thats a far cry from the delusion of controlling an entire run.

    Bad/entitled/ rude, attitudes came from all roles however, mostly tanks that I have seen, but definately healers and dps as well. No role is exempt. When I am dps, I easily leave if anyone gets dicky, dont care about the timer...cant stomach terrible personalities.

    As for full or partial clears I always go with what the majority of ppl want..I'm cool with a 40 min run to a 13 min run, as long as ppl are fair.

    Eh... yes it's part and parcel of the tank role to set the pace, but that pace needs to be OK with the rest of your party. Every role is integral to dungeon completion and all four of you are there for the same reason - to finish the content. Whether that be for exp or zodiac drops is irrelevant. I always gear check, then ask if big pulls are OK for 50+ dungeons. In lower level dungeons, I check to see if anyone is under level 50. If we have lower level players, I'll ask the party if they want a full clear. Some lower level players don't necessarily want a full clear for whatever reason - they could simply be in there for the roulette bonus. I'm usually in a 3 man premade when I queue up as tank, and we're all on voice chat. If the fourth is unsynced it's basically assumed that we'll do a full clear for them unless they ask otherwise.
