Its a shame Paladins have to be tanks. I understand.

You seem to be confused. Refusing to stick up for yourself and allowing others to completely walk all over you doesn't make you more mature. There is no reason why the DPS's time is worth less than the tanks, so I recommend getting over this idea in your head that only the tank's opinion matters. Dungeon parties are groups of 4, not 1.

Neither does being a whiney brat and have everything centred around me, me, me. But then the world has been growing gradually more selfish and "look at me" over the last few decades sadly. Sorry but in terms of the game, DPS are expendable and can be easily replaced, healers and tanks not so much but I wonder if you would enjoy waiting 15-20 minutes for a tank depending on the time of day.
