    90% of the tank's job actually entails being group leader...>.> Otherwise we shouldn't be the ones shouldering the blame every time healers or DPS fail at their jobs.

    Why would it be a tanks fault if the healer didn't heal, or the DPS sucks? That makes no sense?

    Tanks control the pace of the instance, not the entire instance itself.

    It isn't.. But the first step of a wipe = dead tank.
    So without closer inspection of the underlying causes, you can't tell whose fault it was.. blaming tank is just the conclusion many noobs reach when they're unable to comprehend what just happened.

    In many cases, that's the exact mind set upon a wipe "What just happened?"
    "Oh, tank is dead, must be a noob tank"

    Because most DPS tunnel vision and rarely ever watch the healer's heal output.

    Only idiots force blame purely on another. Give tips and reasoning and you work together to solve problems. Tanks that get shouldered the blame for a groups failings aren't alone in their burden. Healers and DPS get blamed all the time.

    That's the blame game that's the problem, not an excuse to carry the 'leader' delusion.

    You're "on point" not "leader". You're the first monkey forward in a group of four monkeys all doing their jobs. It's wrong for any of the monkeys to fling their dung around.
