Stop rewarding tanks/healers! We all put in the same effort.

People often name abusive DPS players as reason but honestly? I've never met them. Not even once. I've seen TONS of people that are terrible at their job, healers, DPS and tanks alike, but verbally, my runs have been mostly quiet. Either I'm just extremely lucky, or people are causing the drama themselves somehow.

You're lucky. Currently leveling Paladin through roulettes and dungeons and the level of impatience from DPS is outstanding. I've had three dungeons yesterday (out of 6) where the DPS ran in front, full sprint, attacking the first set of mobs. Granted I'm a fast player that does big trash pulls, but one instance was before the healer casted protect, and the other was when a healer afk'd. It won't deter me from leveling my Paladin, I just find it annoying. Still, free cracked clusters > annoyance any day.

As a Tank there is an easy solution to this. Let them die. Impatient players who cause problems are not worth your time and effort. If they vote kick you, Report them right back, Nothing will happen to you. I have been playing a Tank for MANY years. You are the party leader regardless of what they want or think, you drive the party forward. Now my time being a tank in XIV personally has been nothing short of great, I can't recall the last time I ran into a verbally abusive player to be honest, It's been well over a year.

If they think you are slow, that is NOT YOUR PROBLEM, you go at the pace you are comfortable with and clear the content. Why? those DPS's will NOT go into another 30min queue while you just instant pop into another one. Don't put up with peoples BS online, It is so simple for a Tank to control everything that happens in an instance do not allow some jerk to dictate how you should play.

And lastly to the OP of the topic. No, For every 100 Players in MMO's there are like 75 DPS, 15 Heals, 10 Tanks. If you want to be rewarded for playing what the majority plays and blame it on everyone else but yourself that is YOUR problem. Tanks get Instant Queues because NO ONE WANTS TO PLAY ONE, It's not about who contributes more to the game during a play session, The game simply cannot be played without Tanks or Healers, If you have a problem with the vast minority getting rewarded because you choose to play a role that is not needed, go play an MMO where there is no trinity like Guild Wars 2.
