And no, you aren't "teaching them a lesson." Odds are if they're willing to pull for you, they couldn't care less.

It's kind of the same philosophy as purposefully standing in AoEs because the healer isn't DPSing.

No. "You spank it, you tank it" has always been MMORPG etiquette 101 for ages now.
DPS who act like they can tank better than the tank are bad DPS, since not only are they not playing their class correctly, but they're also not properly contributing to the team.


The community needs to stop babying the DPS classes. If tanks and healers don't play properly, they are properly reprimanded by the rest of their team.
DPS need to be treated the same as well. You tank it? You spank it. Your job is to burn down enemies and do mechanics, not to rush ahead of the group. No ifs, no buts.
End of discussion.



Got a problem with that? Feel free to leave or vote kick the tank/healer. Either way, tanks and healers have insta-queues, DPS do not.

So in the end, the tanks and healers will always win.
