Need help / advice for this tank roulette situation

[Miracle_Diva]

I brought up low level content because it's the best example of where DPS pulling is rude, but it's not the only example. You're just fixated on it because it completely undermines your point.

If you think everyone and anyone who plays this game is an adequate human being then you're a bit delusional. In any case, I feel a lot of people who play this game don't fit that description, so I said as much. Problem?

And finally, it's like I said earlier; I don't have a problem with "you pull it, you tank it" because it's a response. If the DPS is being rude to the tank because he can't be bothered to make a polite request, then the tank has every right to be rude back. I don't get where a lot of you get this belief that you can be a jerk to people and they'll just politely sit there and not do anything about it.

I brought up this point, because low level content is not that big of a deal. I can repeat it as much as you want, don't you worry. Maybe after third time you'll finally stop focusing on it.

I'm not delusional. I just don't belittle people I don't know, sounds like an adult thing to do. You need to reconsider your perspective here. Maybe it's not them, maybe it's you.

What a great person you are. Responding to someone "being rude" with being rude, but keep in mind that you're not only being rude to your "offender" but to others who were not involved too. I think it's not me but you who is delusional here. You're not a king there, you're just a party member like other group members. What's wrong with someone else pulling for you anyway? Be faster.

Low level content is way more difficult than 80 dungeons because of crappy kits, and it's more likely to have new players in it, so it's probably the biggest deal when it comes to this discussion. 80 dungeons, oddly enough, are where this topic is kind of irrelevant.

And again, the assessment of people in this game is a point you brought up. If you judge them all to be adequate then good for you, but I don't agree. I get that you don't like the conclusion I've drawn, but you're the one who brought this up.

Also, I'm just saying that responding to rudeness with rudeness is fair. I honestly find it hilarious that you people all go out picking fights with tanks, and then act like the tank is the jerk for fighting back. Be considerate to people and they'll be considerate in turn. Be dismissive and rude and that's how people will respond. These are the absolute basics of interacting with people.

Goji, it's all about being a better person.
I get that there're things you can't comprehend, but it's just this simple. I look at people as they are people. Worthy of being respected. They might not be "adequate" as you think, but you never know what brought them to that point. Or maybe your judgement is wrong. We are all different. We live different lives and have different experiences. Some people are simply misunderstood. One had a bad day, another is having not the best time in their life. You can't look down on anyone no matter what. Because you might be on their side one day and in the end of the day, you would still want to be treated nicely, even if you're acting like a jerk because you feel the whole world is against you.
That's why this whole "rude" competition of who can hurt each other more with this dumb attitude of "you pull it, you tank it" is kinda bad in my opinion and brings nothing good to anyone.

Right and wrong aren't really the point; I'm just informing you of what to expect if you continue being inconsiderate and dismissive of tanks just because they're not pulling fast enough for you. The fact that you can't even be bothered to talk to them before jumping to your most inconsiderate option says a lot about your mindset. Saying the tank needs to be the bigger person and just tolerate how you behave is silly.

Also, always giving peoples poor behavior the benefit of the doubt doesn't help anyone. Having a difficult life isn't a free pass to be rude to people; if someone's behavior paints them as a less than adequate person then that's how they'll be received.
