So tanks are jerks to dps/heals because dps/heals were jerks to tanks because tanks were jerks...

"Don't do to others what you don't want to be done to yourself"

Are we really playing the childish "but he did it first" game?

LMAO, give me a break. So, you're the "victim" I was referring to . . . got it.

Okay, fine. I'll actually bother to give a serious response to something on this cesspit of a forum for once.

DPS are typically left alone because a large majority of players aren't observant enough to notice a DPS being lazy/doing dumb things... which is a shame, because that means they get away with it and continue to drag groups down. Seriously, don't join content through the duty finder if you're just going to be lazy and/or you've never even bothered to read your jobs skill descriptions. I mean, really now? Really?

Healers are typically not bothered unless the party wipes because as long as they aren't dying, most players don't care what the healer is doing. And no, I'm not saying healers don't get blamed for things they weren't the cause of, so don't even start.

Tanks are by far the most likely to get yelled at, regardless of what skill level they are playing at. Because hey, guess what? Tanks are obvious. Tanks control the general flow of a dungeon, it's their job. Everyone can see what the tank is doing, it's the most visible role in the game in terms of the impact it has on a fight.

You could be the best tank in the game and it wouldn't matter, because as soon as you did something using a method that someone else in the party doesn't know, they might get annoyed and start yelling at you. Even if what you did was a smarter thing to do than what they were expecting.

Oh, and by the way, I've tried giving nicely worded/presented constructive advice to players of all roles, and you know what I usually got?

Silence.
"Shut up."
"fk u i play how i want"
Vote kicked.

You want to know what the real problem is? It isn't a specific role. It isn't a specific job. It's just a portion of the general playerbase being jerks. A lot of them are just jerks by default. Maybe some others get a kick out of trolling people. Some of them were simply just having a bad day, I'll fully admit I've been guilty of that.

Tanks are typically the most visible role in the game, and therefore the most likely to be yelled at about something... anything. So go ahead, keep claiming tanks that have gotten tired of being yelled at are the problem, it won't change the fact that the real problem isn't tied to a specific role, or job.


PS - I main dark knight, and I don't avoid going into DF solo. Not everyone in there is nasty, and I've met a lot of cool/amusing people doing so.

Do you mean just like how many, many tanks don't check their parties gear levels, then proceed to pull every single enemy they can possibly pull, only to NOT use any cool downs at all to mitigate the insane damage their taking, then pull attitude on the healer when they die for being bad? Is that what you mean?

Or maybe you mean those instances where tanks drop the second the duty begins because they don't like the dungeon Duty Finder chose for them?

Good job ignoring everything else I said, nice to see it was all a wasted effort. Bye.

Just responding to the only thing you said that I found interesting.

I've had dps and healers do the same, pulling extra mobs or dropping cuz they didn't want to do totorak or titan or what have you. Its not limited to tanks :P

Have you ever considered this is not exclusive to tanks?
I got yelled at by a tank once before in Aurum vale for not healing well when he refused to do any single mechanic and i was just "supposed to heal through it".
Also, those replies are not only getting thrown your way because your class symbol is blue and i have a very hard time believing anyone would ever kick a tank tbh.

I agree with your last statement tough, there are rotten apples in every role/job/class.
Best to just ignore them and keep enjoying the game.
