    Mind you, I wouldn't complain as a tank. I'd just pick the add up and continue. Not worth the argument. More time would be spent arguing than just completing the content and moving on from that player. Also, the logistics of NOT picking up that mob (AOE attacks) make it a bit silly to even discuss it.
    This is just false equivalency that is easy to decipher. If I'm tanking and a dps or healer pulls mobs to me, I'll just collect them as its my job to make sure theyre not hitting the party(even be thankful). It's not the end of the world if they pull and I can still do my role if they do this wisely and everyone is happy.

    As a tank, purposefully avoiding picking up threat and avoiding protecting the party(your role) because of some internalized payback to those not catering to "YOUR" playstyle is an entirely different beast.

    As per my other post, what if the context is an instanced dungeon like Eureka or Bozja. And your DPS or healer trains over multiple Tier V or whatever enemies that will wipe your party. Do you still grab them? Or is it griefing?

    If the healer wasn't prepared for 20 adds and they are pulled anyway - is the healer griefing if they don't keep the party alive?

    It is not a false equivalence because you say so.
