    Stating facts isn't entitlement, you might need to look up what the word means before using it.
    It's true that any dps can tank an entire dungeon doing single pulls and melees with Arm's Lengths & Bloodbath can even get away with the occasional double pull, from the earliest leveling dungeons to 90 dungeons. Tankbusters don't kill dps at full HP + either some mitigation or shield, low level dungeon tankbusters don't kill anyone when taken raw; not even healers/ casters.
    So yes, a tank that sticks to single pulls is essentially a wasted slot because at this point they are gimped dps: you don't need to heal them noticeably less than a dps but they deal roughly half as much dps. If the group is fine with single pulls, that is their decision.
    But the fact still stands that a single pulling tank is as much overkill as, say, two healers would be in a 4man when you barely need one for a smooth and easy run. The content isn't nearly threatening enough to warrant a tank when pulling small.

    No one cares about your "facts". We're all playing a game to have fun and you don't pay their subs. I pull w2w when the healer can handle it but I'm not gonna act like an entitled "omg kick them out" baby when I'm not the tank and they choose to single pull.
    Like someone said, w2w is a player made choice, nowhere does the game teaches you or say you have to do it.
