"Huge lack of tanks and healers in the game"

[DisFlavored]

... Most often are they afk too. Just sitting there for hours and hours lengthening everyone's que times by doing nothing.

I think this is what got people started on calling you entitled. After reading your latest post, I went back and re-read the first and it didn't come off as entitled The age old, you can't convey tone in text lol
In all the time I've played this game, I've seen the Adventurer In Need as DPS a total of 3 times. There's not a lack of tanks/healers, there's a lack of tanks/healers queueing. Heck, I've left a Titan Ex run as a DPS so I could try to pick up the tank spot for the DF group. Sad thing was, it worked. The tank well was that dry.

The way to get around this would probably be emotes. But I didn't even think of that when I was typing this that I would come off the way that I did. It's probably how most texting arguments start too.

That's a funny example you give. Must be why SE thought it would be smart for kicked players to not be able to rejoin the same group lol.

If I could just switch to tank in a duty, that'd make me happy (a feature that was possible in RIFT). Because I've had numerous tanks as I'm running leveling or expert dungeons as a dps just bail for no reason. Not a word said, just outsies right after the first boss dies. Then we could at least limp it home with a tank, one dps, and a healer rather than standing around with our thumbs in our asses waiting for a new tank to eventually roll in. People will even so far enough to bitch about the dps that do leave the dungeon in those situations, as if most of the time it's not reasonable to sit in a fresh dungeon queue for about the same time as it would take to wait for a tank to queue in-prog.

On the other hand, I have to agree with a lot of what an earlier poster said regarding DF players in most colorful terms. I have to say that the people are the reason I don't normally queue in the DF. I don't truly mind an underperforming dps or an undergeared healer that might not be able to keep up with me like my FC or savage static can. It's those toxic players who are so stern with "I'll play how I want, and you're going to hell if you try to say otherwise" that simply won't even take the point of "hey, nin, you forgot your poison" but will instead refuse to put it on as if there are any negative impacts to doing so.
