1) If they didn't want big pulls, they'd make it known and have done that. Even just writing YPYT is an implied "I don't want big pulls, if you pull something that I don't, I'm not taking aggro." And letting you suicide isn't against TOS either. And if they did want big pulls, there's noone to report you to Square. Still a redundant statement.

2) The original argument post was someone stating that YPYT is against ToS, not that pulling extra is reportable.

3) Depending on how the wipe is caused yes. Same goes for raiding. You accidently hit rescue too many times and cause a wipe, reported. You repeatedly put high damage, wiping worthy mechanics on group members and you have chat disabled so you can focus, reported. A tank pulls every add in the first room of Aurum Vale knowing full well that no pug group can handle that amount of damage in and it causes the party to wipe repeatedly, especially after at least 1 person would realistically ask them to stop pulling all that aggro, reported.

4) Living is a higher priority than keeping aggro. That is the bare minimum function needed in order to even do that job. If taking extra aggro means death, you don't do it. Same as IRL group combat tactics, if you are the frontline/defense, you do not go into compromising positions that don't let you fulfill your duty. If someone does something stupid/risky and acts on their own without running it by you or other members in the party, you do not compromise all of your current asset maintenance to try to compensate for that lone wolf action and potentially not do your job at all. You do what you are comfortable with, at your pace, and the group, realizing that are you important to their functionality, goes at your pace. Any decoy's, distractions, disabling technology used in operations follow the same protocol. You do not rush ahead of people in charge of providing a distraction in an operation, you do not rush ahead of people in charge of disabling defense systems, you do not rush ahead of decoys. You are not the group role that dictates the pace, you are not the next step in the tactic that has been planned. You're the one deviating from the standard. The tank is staying with the original plan and letting you suicide and running it by command that you broke order and got killed.
