How often do you play on NA?

I think some people took me saying Alliance B tanking is common knowledge as saying that we do that in NA. We don't, but we've known that JP do, since forever. In NA, it's usually a matter of, "Who wants to MT the most?" Some people who play tank here want to be the MT no matter what, so they fight for agro. Another very common thing to see though, is that no tank actually wants to MT. They just want a job that's easy to not die on, so they came tank. There's a ton of times in NA where tanks actively refuse to turn on their stance, and someone has to be goaded/forced into tanking. NAs are very tank reluctant, outside of tank mains, and NA tank mains are overzealous/competitive.

People don't wait for normal fates, that's true. In Eureka though, they do. Especially nowadays that it's old and there's less people. It's generally a 2 minute from pop pull time, sometimes more if someone communicates that they're in a bad spot but on the way asap. It was a little different when it first came out, as many NAs like to leech, so poppers felt entitled to kill the NMs they'd spawned. But anytime an actual NM Train was organized, people would just follow the train leader's commands.

Hunts for NA have always had organization and wait times. There are selfish NA who solo pull or early pull though, purposefully to troll. However, load times for older PC rigs and PS4s without Solid State Drives sometimes cannot load into zones upon teleport, due to congestion. Sometimes loading in takes so long for older machines that making the pull time is impossible without inconveniencing hundreds of people. I gave up hunts when I was still on PS4 due to that.

If Saphyra meant 3 wipes and disband in a Raid Finder party... I guess that's more understandable. But everyone joined of their own volition, anyway, so it still sounds like impatience and failure to really analyze what's going wrong. Are there exceptions if the wipes are caused by disconnects at pivotal points?

Almost everyone greets in NA. We even have plenty of NA who get perturbed when people do not.
