Why is it....

I don't get why this is even such a big deal.
As long as one of the tanks is holding aggro, who cares which one? But aggro dick fights and healbot dick fights seem to be a huge thing in alli raids. As if whoever is currently holding aggro/ healing the fastest is the most useful and important one.

If another tanks provokes, I'll even give them a Shirk high five, turn off my stance and mash my dps buttons. This constant aggro war between tanks just pisses off melees unless they all stack neatly on top of each other... which rarely happens because everyone needs to see from the boss turning that another tank now has aggro and is more important.
I like to run ahead and pull because I like to speed things up but if another tank wants to be on MT duty so badly and doesn't fall asleep while pulling, I let them have it. If it causes problems because poor boss positioning/ squishy, that's on them. They wanted it, they better know how to deal with it.

I care because when I carefully placed the boss so that melee can have optimal positionals and boss abilities dont randomly screw up most "tactics" (for example O10 says hi on that regard).. and other tank provokes from other side of boss/arena.. just because they feel like provoke is part of rotation.

As for alliance raids (mostly ARR), I just find it funny how tanks fight over the boss while the adds are smashing healers into ground and no tank wants to touch them.

I mean sure, you can have the boss. But if someone wants to provoke it for no reason at least move the boss so it doesnt cleave everyone

In those situations i go grab up all the adds, which one would assume an aware tank would do? Call me crazy but grabbing adds sounds like something a tank would do, if the boss is already being held down. I dunno, sounds really far fetched right? Like the person responsible for cutting the light switch on standing there yelling "why is nobody cutting the light switch on?!?!"
