Should I Kick before being Kicked?

[Sakuraluna]

LOL dude i was in that dungeon with you. Remember what i said when we completed the dungeon? Ppl often go about things the wrong way but you can't just assume someone is being rude just for the sake of it. There's often a reason behind it. Now lets look at the situation you were in. It started by you wanting to move at your own pace while the rest of the group wanted to move much quicker between pulls. This by it's self was not an issue since our healer was capable of keeping the dps up if they were tanking the mobs.

Wait, I'm confused... Hopefully I'm reading this wrong, and there's more I don't know about since I wasn't there to see any of it, but I'm getting the impression here that the rest of the party tried to force the OP into moving at a faster pace than he was comfortable with, started pulling ahead of him when he didn't change his pace to meet their demands, and expected him to be okay with that? And when he reacted to it, the healer punished him by letting him die numerous times and everybody blames him 100%.

Now, I agree with most of what's been said in this thread that if a player is experiencing kicks this regularly that it's likely the player that is the problem, not the groups. There is also some good advice to OP throughout the thread. But that being said, I also wouldn't expect a tank in the situation I just described to be all unicorns and rainbows about that kind of treatment. This type of situation is one of the reasons I haven't leveled a tank class myself, and likely won't ever use DF on a tank class. People can be very harsh toward inexperienced tanks, and if the above is really how it happened then it's more validating the op's claims of victimization than disputing them.

But like I said, I could be wrong. I will note though that the OP is a level 40 warrior according to the info by his character icon, so if that's his main job then it's more than likely he is still learning.
