"You pull, you tank" is a bad mentality

[Iyrnthota]

Well considering the Tank is the boss of the group and dictates the momentum. Respect on how they want to pull stop being impatient.

Nah. No-one is the boss. It's collaborative. Besides, other players can and will dictate the momentum.

A lot of Main Character Syndrome goes on in the alledged brains of YPYT'ers (extremely rancid decayed corpse of a bait thread but dang if people still put their egos on the line in a video game)

While not universal, there is certainly a trend of Tank mains being more prone to MCS, it's especially funny when they try to YPYT you, and you don't die...

Then the tank just sits there being a petty child because the person survived and they either whine about it or just refuse to move at all before a vote kick sends them packing.

What game are you playing that this happens in even remotely often? Are we at the point where a single occurrence in 6 months of playing is a "trend"?

Literally everyone that is in support of the YPYT mentality does exactly that. If a DPS or Healer pulls ahead and survives it, what are you going to do? You either put up with it or you devolve into that petty child I described.

Had that happen in the Castrum Meridianum recently actually. A level 90 tank decided he wanted to single pull against the requests of the rest of the party and tried to let the healer die by only single targeting in pack pulls. I was the healer and it's impossible to die there

not if I got my pocket healer. This game is for every body right. Everyone preaches on here we have to cater to everyone from casuals to hardcore. So if that tank wants to pull how they want to pull then I guess you have to suck it up and deal with it. All is fair if we are to include EVERYONE

There's an implication here that if the DPS pulled extra, then as the healer, you wouldn't heal them

Iunno. If by "pocket healer" you mean the random sod who doesn't want conflict: I'd heal you if you were single-pulling, but I'd definitely be a tad grumbly about it behind the screen. I don't really agree with being conservative with pulls when you 1. have adequate gear for the instance and 2. know to cycle your defensives, so while I would definitely heal you out of just wanting to play my role in the party and not being another stick in the mud, I would hate being considered your pocket healer.

If you mean a friend, kind of sad to know you're in the "wrong" by needing your friend to back you up and help vote-kicking any dissidents, and you still continue to do it.
