We Need to Start Expecting Mid-Level Sprouts to Play Better

[Atelier-Bagur]

am i just blessed with good luck? i don't notice these people. i cannot remember the last time a party i've been in has wiped due to anything other than my own mistakes, excluding enrages or dps checks. honestly, not joking, i don't see the bad players, but then again, i also play warrior specifically so i don't need to.

I mean hey, Im in the same boat as you are. I'm generally stunned to read that people here have been running frequently with poor end-game tanks. I dont want to be jerk and not say that the people posting these complaints are just lying or they're exaggerating but I swear Ive yet to run into having tanks whom fail to do their job.

In all honesty, without actually being a stats nerd and recording all my runs, as a finger in the wind measure I'd say somewhere around 2%-ish of all roulettes I do will have a tank who either 1) never once uses tank stance, 2) never mitigates, 3) never AOEs and then 1 random lunatic every couple of hundred runs who literally does all of the above + 3 other things all while (I kid you not) dressed in iLvl5 rags in a L60 dungeon. It's clearly not a sea of clowns and mostly experience bias but it's enough to make you eye the tank for that first pull each dungeon.
