is it okay to not enjoy big pulls?

Tone aside, this guy has the right of it.

Nobody likes a slacker in their group, tanks are no exception.

How exactly are you a slacker for doing small pulls instead of grabbing half the dungeon? Also to that other person. I'm not sure what world he lives in. But maybe he should realize it's not as many as he believes thinks that way. Let's not take a personal view and claim everyone thinks that.

Because we know what an optimal run looks like. In many (probably most) cases, it's a wall to wall pull with a big defensive CD and lots of AoE damage.

But, that is hard and takes effort. So, people opt for worse strategies. So, I called it what it is: slacking.

I'm not saying this maliciously. It's just like never dropping tank stance or using only aggro combos. It's a lack of will to optimize because it's hard.

Edit: I realize that the discussion is less about difficulty and more about fun. However, the end result is the same, regardless of why something does or doesn't happen.

I've met a BLM who refused to AoE. When I asked him why, he said he hated the AoE rotation and it was boring. We ended up kicking him. Regardless of his reasoning, he was holding us back. Did it feel bad to do? Of course. But, that's the way it goes.
