Alliance Raids and players not waiting for Cutscene Watchers

[MilkieTea]

It would take maybe 12-16 minutes tops with unskippable cutscenes too, which is basically nothing.

IIRC isn't the syrcus tower boss cutscene just, like. A regular boss cutscene?

Pretty much, at least from what I can remember. "Hi, I'm Xande. I'm gonna pose intimidatingly and then we'll get right to it" is the gist of it.

Why are you as a tank not making sure to make use of sprint and to stay ahead of dps so that everyone can use their kit to the fullest potential? Anyone can pull even if they are not a tank-its the tank's job to maintain aggro and for the healer to keep whoever is taking damage alive. In any case the progression in tone over the course of this thread is quite insightful.

Again, never underestimate what experienced players are able to pull off single-handedly, alliance raid, dungeon, or otherwise.

Oh, yeah, I can easily do that. You know what you can also easily not do?

Yeah. Like, I normally wait for cutscenes even if it's just a lil boss diddly doo. I'll sit if we're in a 4 man bc typically boss cutscenes *are* still fun for newbies to watch. but there's a level of moral outrage here that's just like .. Dang, touch grass my dude.

Being considerate to one's fellow human beings is too big of an ask for some people, unfortunately.

Yea how dare they make my job as tank easier by helping me group up enemies. I never asked for that and only what I think and want matters, the rest of the party should just be slaves to my will.

I don't usually have people like Avey in my group when I tank. I always rush pull 2 groups unless the healer asks me to go slower. Rarely, an Avey-type will try and run ahead of me either way and pull things but will stop when I make it clear I don't want them to do that. Very, very, very rarely is this an issue. I am not a slow tank, nor do I need assistance in pulls. Focus on doing your own job.

If someone pulls ahead of you, what is your course of action?

I rush ahead, taunt and or aoe to make sure the mobs don't run amock, then ask said person to not do that again. If they keep doing it then we have a problem. As I already said.

Clearly you are making up that problem because you are perfectly capable of just taking aggro back.
