    "Me, as the person intended to do pulls by SE, choosing to do pulls as I want in the event of a tie, rather than give the other side what they want does not make me entitled, especially after being demanded and told pretty much "you are our slave" unless you consider the role itself entitled.

    "Please, for the love of the gods, READ."
    "Yep, you are being a sensationalist. Because you're ignoring the facts. There was a tie. I was the tank. It's my job to pull, so I pulled. The dps pulled too, but that's not his job."
    "If I am the tank, my vote should be the tiebreaker if mob pulling is the problem."
    "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."
    "Have a nice day, you just proved my point. If you aren't willing to read, then please do not post with the tenacity of someone who has read. Choosing to be ignorant about something and then speaking about it anyways is not a good thing to do."

    "There is no hypocrisy here friend. Read a bit more, and you'd know!"

    Definition of entitlement: the feeling or belief that you deserve to be given something (such as special privileges). As you said that SE chose you to be tiebreaker as a tank.. well.. the definition..

    Even if you are right or not, people will call you entitled if you act like entitled. Unforunately 40 pages weren't enough for you to get it and other 40 wouldn't be enought too. And I wanted not to scroll back 3 pages lol. Definitely worth it.

    SE did not choose the tank to be the tie breaker they choose a random player to be leader which is designated by the L next to their portrait in the player list. Ultimately it is the party leaders say and not some random dps, tank, or healer.

    I think there is a huge difference between being a leader and a boss.

    A leader is meant to LEAD, not to give orders or take final decisions.
    So yeah, a Tank is the party leader, but not party boss.
    Tank is just meant to lead, not to decide alone if runs will be 'full clear' or 'fast clear', or if group will deal with massive pulls or not. It's up to the group to decide things altogether (if you running with a premade party, you guys can decide who is going to be the boss).
    Nothing in this game (raid, dgns) can be done without a specific party role. But be pretty sure: Anything can be done without YOU (yeah!! you there!!! Reading my post!!! lol).
    By: A tank, tanking to protect my comrades =P

    Btw, I hope I'm not off topic xD just my 2c
