"You pull, you tank" is a bad mentality

[theunhappypotato]

YPYT is a weak mindset and peopel should get rid of it

[Grimforth]

It's also a reportable offense if the tank lets you die. And then when they actually get in trouble for it, then they want to call the ff14 community a bunch of soft crybabies because you can't do what you want.

If you are willing to pull it, then you are willing to tank it.

I dunno how someone looks around the room, reads the vibes, and then has the gall to actually say something like this out loud.

Who necroe'd this shit!?... Oh, it's Titanmen. I should've guessed it.

Nothing to see here, folks. Just move along.

If you are willing to pull it, then you are willing to tank it.

A tank that's not willing to tank because someone pulled ahead is no longer a tank and, thus, taking an actual tank's spot.

You do the YPYT act in my presence, you sure as hell are getting the hard end of my boot.

Because if you attack a mob that I have not yet aggro'd, then you are absolutely willing to take damage from it, until I am able to take it off of you.

It's just simple realism.

And if you don't take it off them then you're going to have three people reporting you for griefing and wasting their time because you decided to be petty.

Lotta assumptions being made here in apropos of nothing.

Curious behavior.

Ugh, this thread again...Can we just put it to bed and say that if you follow the YPYT mentality you're essentially just being a prick? Your job is a Tank, you take majority of damage. Simple as that while DPS do damage. The in-game Hall of the Novice talks about this in their Tank Dialogue enough times that it should be ingrained into people's minds after they do it, so just do your job and Tank like a Tank should.

[Komarimono]

It is amusing each time this thread gets necro'd again and again.

A tanks pulling aggro anyway if you pull the mob towards their AoE. IF you're out in the middle of no where, or attacking mobs not pulled and not bringing them? I mean... ya... you're tanking if the tank doesn't see this or the group has moved forwards.
