There was a a thread here a week ago about Tank DPS and Tank Mitigation, about Raiders shaming Casual Tanks who do not even participate on Endgame content for putting Tenacity on their tank gear. Yes, they shame you for having Tenacity Melds on your gear on an Expert Roullete. One even said "I have more respect if you did not have melds at all".

Tried explaining to them how Tenacity is a good stat for tanks for almost every situation except Current Endgame Raids with DPS checks, only got flamed some more xD.

So yes, ppl will flame you for what you meld on your gear. Especially if you get to party with a 3 man Premade Party who all have current raid gear, get ready to get flamed lol.
