"You pull, you tank" is a bad mentality

[Raven2014]

I find dps/ healer who does the pulling without tank fits into description of ego centrist too

First, you edit the word: you used seft-centrist in your original post, not ego-centrist, which is what I use, and there is a difference.

While they are both about self, there is no issue with the former if it conform to the will of the majority. In this context, while each person (except the tank) all selfishly want to go faster, as a whole they form the majority. The tank, however by demanding everyone to conform to his/her own selfishness, and decide to "teach anyone who not obey a lesson by letting them die" is strictly an ego issue, which as a reminder, the whole point of the OP.


Second, to be clear:

- When I don't tank, do I pull even if the tank is slow? No.
- When I tank, do I want it when other people pulled for me? No.

But this is the important bit (or rather, the point)

- When I tank, do I take issue with other people pulling ahead of me? A big fat NO.

The thing I always wall to wall and run ahead the party anyway, the other members can't pull for me even if they try. In almost a decade playing this game, that had happened probably a handful of time that I can remember. And each time I just grab the mobs off them and move, no problemnemo ... not like tanking in this game is hard.

So un-suprisingly, I rarely, if ever has reason to be frustrated at my party behavior. On the other hand, if someone run into issues so often that it 'cause them to swear it off (like the other poster I replied to above) then I think a moment of self-reflection is warranted. And again, ego tend to get in the way of doing that.


If you constantly have a problem with the universe, then the problem is not the universe, it's you. That's pretty much EGO 101.
