    There's a name for people like you. But I don't feel like getting reported for saying it. I'm just going to stop talking to you.
    The heck are you talking about. A ton of healers LIVE for healtanking because it's probably the most fun thing possible in normal modes.

    Getting rid of the tank actually improves the gameplay experience for those remaining. It actually makes the encounters fresh again, and I've noticed bards in particular jump at the chance to kite mobs around. As soon as that tank gets kicked all three people in the party want to show just how useless that tank was by outdoing them.

    It doesn't matter if a replacement tank never shows up again. It's more fun without one. Heck, it's better if the replacement tank shows up while the gate is up so they have to watch the samurai eat a buster and survive.

    Yes, it's less "efficient" but if you're in a situation where you're kicking a tank for being slow you're not going to be speedrunning the dungeon with or without the tank. Might as well convert what could have been a speedrun (but with an uncooperative tank) into a novelty run.

    At least you don't have to suffer the tank's ego.
