    Don´t do countdowns in dungeons pls, all buffs will run out.

    If someone pulls, just take the boss. Tha new aggro system with tankstance is super op since Shb, there isn´t even a problem.
    After that you can still tell them, to not pull for you.

    If that happens often you are probably to slow.

    In the above scenario, at least 2 out of 3 players felt you should be dismissed. It was also a rightful kick, since you switched of tankstance and didn´t do your job (tanking).

    Ready checks are more annoying than countdowns, because they steal your pointer. This has happened to me hundreds of times:
    1. Approach arena
    2. Target boss
    3. Click menu button
    4. Move pointer to "focus target"
    5. ARE YOU READY? pops up
    6. Yell at TV
    7. Click "Yes" then hit my 3 buttons to focus target on the boss

    I never understood why ready check needs to popup in your face but vote dismiss just creeps in the corner for you to select.

    I think it is the tank job to make the pull, if any dps don’t want to lose the buff can simple say and talk to the tank.
    However, I think OP should also tell the dps what you think after the first fight
    It is basic respect after all, the dps lack of it doesn’t mean you have to lower yourself to his/her level

    I bet you anything the healer and DRG both, if not all three, voted to kicked you. What makes you think wasting three people's time by causing a wipe (or stressing the healer out and wasting their mana by having them focus heal the DPS for a while) is worth your entitlement? Note that in this scenario, everyone else still did their job except you. I don't understand where this tank entitlement even comes from. You're a part of a team just like everyone else, not the star of the show. Your job is to tank hits. If DPS pulls, then say something in chat, but suck it up and do your job.

    This is an MMO. Do your part and communicate with words when things like this happen rather than being a baby about it and causing a wipe that just wastes everyone's time. I guarantee you that you did not teach that DPS or anyone else in that party a lesson.

    Suppose the days of "You spank it, you tank it" are long past? Its pretty rude to pull ahead of the tank. It doesn't matter if you want to keep a buff up or that a tank can gain aggro easy, its simply disrespectful. If you can't play nicely pick up your toys and go home.

    Yes, it is rude and you should say something about it in chat. You know what's more rude? Wasting everyone else's time by causing a wipe due to a temper tantrum. I'm a healer main and will keep that DPS alive until the tank decides to quit being a baby and pick it up (and have done so before) rather than waste another 5+ minutes dying, running back, and starting over.

    Thats Tank entitlement of the finest.

    Of Course its usually better to let the Tank pull to keep the pace.

    But "You spank it, you tank it" was never a good approach. Tanking is the tanks job.

    Imagine that with another role:
    Healer suddenly doesn´t heal you anymore because you stood in an avoidable aoe?
    "You let it hit, your Sh**"

    Meele stops doing dps because the mob was turned and he didn´t get his positional?
    "You turn it, you kill it"

    Its always the Tanks that complain if they don´t get there "special Snowflake" treatment.

    Imagine if this were the mindset in FFXI. Those poor THFs, BRDs, and RNGs...

    Good, life's too short to spend it worrying about some rando DRG who pulls 5 seconds earlier than you'd like.
