Entitled DPS, please stop being entitled

[Hyrist]

Wrong, im one of those tanks that actually looks at the equipment of all party members before rushing in a dungeon. But im also one of those tanks that will let you eat dirt if you decide to make me go out of my way and undermine my judgement and think you can do it better.

Good job assuming tho, did that really well ^.^b

There's no point in being defensive on the forums on either one of these points.

Better than just checking, and judging, especially in a lowbie dungeon, it can be resolved with just simple polite conversation.

"Hi, I'm here for EXP, can we please full clear this is my highest dungeon."

Then, if the tank, or another member isn't able/inclined to, a polite response can be.

"Sorry, I'm trying to get this roulette in before my Static Raids."


The situation advantage here is not the Tanks. The tank is trying to rush, and only knows one DPS. The DPS can simply stop cold on the PLD and pull with the healer at their own pace. Suddenly one Tank and one DPS are without the heals they need to complete the run. If this was just an ornery DPS ticking off the party it would be a matter of an outlier misbehaving. It was not. This was a split decision by the party and communication failed.

As everyone (read tank players) has said, I most definitely will see myself out, or let you kick me. I'll get back in a dungeon in no time flat (see tank queue times). Feel free to continue thinking that it's not the tanks job to control the pace, and you'll find that dungeon runs will become more and more frustrating until you finally quit the game. So really, get with the program or switch to a tank class and do it your own way. Those are really your only options: 1: Quit, 2: Let the tank drive, or 3: play as a tank.

You are the embodiment of an entitled tank and should feel ashamed of yourself. At that point, I'd have no qualms in making you leave yourself and eat the half hour penalty. You can try to tackle the boss with no heals while the DPS and I clear the scrap monsters. Your kind of attitude needs to be heavily discouraged.

Statements like yours further the stigma against tanks throughout this game.
