And this is why from now on, I will have no second thoughts about abandoning teams such as this the first time the tank even looks at me the wrong way. The DPS's can wait 45 min in queue all over again if they want because it's not like they're so supportive when you get an asshole tank and they just stand in the background and blend in.

That's pretty common it's the old MMO mentality that the Tank is super important so the DPS are scared to stand up to them. In some older games the Tanks were usually leaders of statics and expected to lead a party in a random group they still kind of are so they get away with a lot more because people feel if the Tank leaves they will have a long wait and it's usually true. Been in that exact same situation more times than i can count and it's even worse if they have some DPS sidekick who is up their backside because they want fast queues so then the two of them gang up on you even though the Tank is in the wrong. With experience you can pretty much carry a bad group but they shouldn't expect it from a new Healer when the Tank is also new. An experienced Tank will make things really easy on you because they know how to handle incoming damage. Just don't expect commendations if you carry a run most people won't even notice because of the stigma that your job is easy and they just expect you to be able to work miracles.

There are just a lot of assholes in the game I mean I'm no saint by any means and i lose my temper with people but some people seem to be in jerk mode 24/7. Encountered certain Tanks multiple times that are just horrible people in denial about how bad they are. Also got no love for people who feel the need to be jerks when you are trying to help them.

Had this issue in a random Titan PuG in progress the Tank was new and I wanted to stay and help them so we start and the first pull ends in a wipe pretty fast. I was explaining how after Titan jumps what often happens is the healers throw a heal out for the damage and pull Titan because the aggro is different. I said the aggro resets which is what I always thought is what is happening because if i throw a heal out after he jumps i often almost have aggro so it's better if the Tank taunts him before i do it and some DRG was being really bitchy like "lolol the aggro doesn't reset you dumb bitch" I mean regardless if that is or is not a particular fact I'm just trying to help the Tank not lose aggro after a jump then he's like "If you want to help don't give false information" so i just gave up on helping. Had situations where the person I am trying to help is also not very nice about it and starts being abusive it's like "I'm trying to help you why are you calling me names!?" XD.
