Tanks holding fights hostage in Roulettes

Judging from this dudes signature, he just hates tanks and wants to punish them because how of healers have been treated.

Wrong again sweetie, I play tanks plenty and I’m enjoy tanking quite a lot. I just don’t believe in immortality bestowed on me for having the transcendent skill level of pressing the blue role before i queue for a duty

I do not believe it, i know it. Because it already happens sometimes. After the first wipe, someone leaves the group. Because there is no trust, that the group will clear the content quickly.



Players take always the path of least resistance. If leaving a group makes it easier to reach the goal instead of wiping 10+ times on a boss then many people will do it, sorry. I play also many other MMOs and everywhere is it the same. And i do not think, that FF14 players are so special.

Is it possible to learn this apparent clairvoyance that when one wipe happens you can immediately see it’ll lead to 10 more

In a trial or normal raid the path of least resistance is never leaving unless you have more time than attention span

It is not clairvoyance, it is experience. Again, the tanks would not solo the bosses if they knew, that wiping and trying again would be faster. They simply assume, that it will be way slower because it will not be only one wipe. If you prevent this then they will simply leave the party and find another one. As a tank, you just wait seconds and the next content pops up. And yes, that's unfortunate for other roles, that tanks have this position of power. But it is what it is.

I love to play tank but he is right. Atm high level tanks have a ridiculous self sustain to the point that I consider them broken. It should not be possible to clear synched and current content with just the tanks. The worse is that it doesn’t even take skill nor great gear, it’s just that easy. On normal content, you can even collect vuln stacks for fun and ignore them. The balance is totally off.
