If you decide to stop tanking, that's a problem. Now it's no longer a question of whether or not you can handle it, it's you choosing to not play out of pure malice.



And willfully ignoring mobs that are killing your party just because you didn't pull them yourself isn't acting like an entitled, spoiled child trying to force others to play 'their way'?

The tank is tanking the mobs the tank grabbed. The tank has judged the amount of mobs he or she can handle given the unknown quantities in the party and their own ability. That was the job the tank agreed to when clicking the queue button. Someone else pulls additional and the party dies, wasting more time than if they'd just been a little patient, but hey it's okay, because at least "you tried"?

Come on, you're not even trying to make it make sense.

Go ahead, report folks for not picking up mobs you unilaterally decided as a DPS the tank and healer "should" be okay with handling. And continue to watch those sweet, sweet 15+ minutes queues because fewer and fewer folks want to deal with the stress and nonsense and either do trusts or only play with FC members\friends.

As an aside, why don't you folks just do that? Want to push the limits? Throw up a PF or run with friends and everyone can pull everything. You'd honestly probably fill faster doing that. Don't bring that to the queue and expect everyone is performing at your expected peak level. Some folks are gearing up, not ready for wall to wall, just returning to the game, know they have a RL distraction they might need to look at in a second, the reasons for not going at breakneck speed are endless. You never know what you get in a roulette, why is it such a problem to be chill and let the tanks and healers set the pace?
