"You pull, you tank" is a bad mentality

[Ravenblade1979]

This thread is literally about MCS tanks doing exactly that. That's what the "you pull, you tank" mentality is. Letting someone die for going against you.

And seeing you say that tanks are the sole deciders and the sole pace-makers and anyone else's opinions doesn't matter just proves that you are one of those MCS people.

i mean aren't you folks just as equally saying that people who say "its not the tanks job soley but anyone" just proving that opinion don't matter either?

End of this all. the "you pull it you tank it" mentality is toxic but so is what a bunch of you are saying as well. Play as you will but don't be shocked if a tank is like..dude lemme pull. if you pull attitude then expect the player to either retaliate or report your stupidity. this is a party dynamic game and if my tank wants to pull..have at it. i will just damage the mob or mobs and move on with my day. my time isnt so important as to force quick runs on people. if you all find your time is. go in with premade groups wanting quick runs and leave the rest of the players to their own devices lol.

So counter argument: if you want to go slow as hell make your own premade group and leave the rest to our own devices.Got em!

Not much you can say now huh.

Saying that it's not the tank's sole decision on how the run goes is not toxic.

Saying that the group interest is more important than a sole person's interest is not toxic.

Saying that double pulling is more fun is not toxic.

Saying that survival is dependant on the healer's capabilities rather than the tank's is not toxic.

No one here is saying that you need to speed run. In fact, all I have seen is people saying that double pulls are more fun.

Also, you can't be banned for pulling as a DPS, but you can get banned for refusal to participate and/or disruption of play by either turning off your stance, not touching the mobs, or refusing to move.

So the petty tank can report all they want for someone else pulling, but at the end of the day, they'll be the ones getting banded for YPYT.

Thank you! People need to read this over and over.
