Getting Kicked as a Tank from Dungeons for Power Pulls! No more for me!

[Adire]

I had the OP in a dungeon the other day. We were in the Aery, the healer had ilvl 90-ish gear mostly and he complained about it the whole run despite the healer keeping him alive. They argued a lot, we got to the last boss, then he demanded we either kick the healer, kick him, or sit there and wait for the dungeon to time out. The healer told him to just finish the run because they didn't want to hurt us (the dps), he (the OP) refused.

The healer really should've had better gear, but they were getting the job done. And when he decided to hold the group hostage we decided to just kick him. Luckily we got a replacement tank instantly and cleared the dungeon. OP, you should work on your attitude.

I had the OP in a dungeon the other day...OP, you should work on your attitude.

Haha...I figured something was off with OP's story considering the amount of kicks they were subject to.

Thank you for sharing your experience - it was enlightening.

Yeah, I've had tanks do that. They get a LOT more cooperative once you explain that what they're doing is a reportable violation and then start teaching the others in the group how to file a GM report against them.

As for me tanking, I always follow Rule 2: always tank as if the healer isn't paying attention. If the healer tells me to pull more, I'll pull more. If they can't handle it, I go back to pulling less. Easy as that.

If a DPS eggs me to pull more, well that falls in line with Rule 1: always expect DPS to be inherently stupid.

I knew it. I knew it was him acting up.
@ OP - grow up.

tank was in their right to complain. having i90 gear is pretty bad even at 50. "getting the job done" is and has been a lame excuse to give people a free pass. Tanks can be hard to play more so on the NA data center with all the selfish attitudes around. Tank is the one putting their hp pool up against 3-20 mobs at a time and need healers up to the task. The healer shoulda been kicked for their gear. imo you and the healer had the attitude, not the tank. Try thinking about others for change, b ut ppl think tanks are all but useless with some of the shi i've seen.

Or you can do what tanks are meant to do: take it like a champ.

Tanks need to gauge their parties limitations and adjust accordingly. Can they pull 20 mobs and the healer handle it ok, or can they pull 20 mobs and the dps handle it ok. If they're not paying attention to the flow of the party and adapting then they're clearly pants on head retarded and deserve all the kicks; especially if they get toxic about something they don't like.
