Entitled DPS, please stop being entitled

[Adire]

This analogy would make sense if the other 3 people in your party were DoL/DoH jobs, or if any surgical team ever consisted of a surgeon and 3 people taking pictures.

Again you say your vote isn't any more important than anyone else's, but it is the tie breaker. Stop acting entitled, because I'm the entitled one.

I don't recall saying that any surgical team consisted of that. I was speaking theoretically. I think you missed that point.

I've said it numerous times. If I am the tank, my vote should be the tiebreaker if mob pulling is the problem. If I am not the tank, I still think it should be the tank's call because doing that is their job, doing that is their realm. I can't believe I'm being shamed for essentially not condoning DPS pulling mobs without a majority agreement existing.

Yet here we are, with tanks as the role designated to pull mobs by the community and by SE, not dps.

First, As great as it is of someone to pass on using their rights, why on earth should I give up mine when someone is trying to make me their slave immediately? If someone is making demands of me, I am not going to silently bow down to them. If he had asked nicely? I'd gladly give him what he wanted, as I've said oh so many times if you would take a moment to actually read.

Second, I never in this entire thread claimed to be an unnaturally skilled tank. I am skilled, that much I will say, but nowhere have I said that I am superior to most players at tanking. Please do not put words into my mouth. Also, what does the fact that I haven't played WAR much have to do with anything? WAR is a tank, PLD is a tank, I have a good understanding of the role that both fill. I don't have to play WAR to know how to tank.

Third, please read. I offered compromise, they responded with "nope, we're doing it our way 100%", yet I am on a high horse....? I am really getting tired of repeating this. If you aren't willing to be informed about this topic, please do not bother posting without at least admitting that you are uninformed.

Fourth, we asked him to AoE during the first pull's fight. I hadn't gone out of the way to collect mobs because I didn't want to get blasted by the Eye's AoE while fighting the non-optional packs. I wanted to clear them out (especially since no one was AoEing) before gathering the rest, and was taking a moment to figure out how to react to his demands as well. Just because I didn't immediately respond to them with words doesn't mean I was being "stubborn", even though I believe a little stubborness given his disrespect would have been justified. I was doing my job first, and talking second, and was going to go back and get the mobs if he had a change of attitude or agreed to AoE so the dungeon wouldn't take a painfully long time if I went back to get the mobs had he agreed. And I won't lie....I was speechless for a bit after the initial attitude he had.

I was a rebel by pulling the non-optional mobs first when he wanted me to get us all blasted by the eye so that he could get his exp immediately, rather than later. And I was a rebel by asking him to compromise rather than give him 100% what he wanted and sacrifice what we wanted. I was not a rebel by refusing to do anything he said just because. If you had read my post and other posts I've made, you should know this. Context is more important than individual words you know.

And really...there comes a point when a little bit of rebellion is justified. Are you honestly saying it wouldn't irk you if someone demanded that you be their slave? Are you completely missing the parts where I said I would have given him his kills too, if only he had treated me with some respect?

You are being extremely hostile and judgmental of me for someone who is not being referred to by my OP. Perhaps you should take a look at your own attitude. It's sad that I ask for a little respect, and get told to screw off by people like you and the dps in the dungeon. What happened to common decency?

I start a dungeon, get made into a subhuman slave immediately, have a minorly bad reaction in that I remain quiet for a moment after being told I'm a slave, offer a reasonable, small compromise after thinking about what to do after being treated as a subhuman, get told no and that I will do it their way or no way, get insulted, and I am the one who needs to show humility....

Well, like I said. You reap what you sow. This community has lost one good tank who is willing to do clears if treated like a human being.
