"You pull, you tank" is a bad mentality

[VeyaAkemi]

Assuming nothing goes awry, it's safe to assume whatever the DPS did did not have a negative effect on the group and maybe had a miniscule positive effect, not that the DPS's intent can safely assumed to be the best interests of the group.

You are being needlessly pedantic, I was simply attempting to address whether or not a DPS pulling would be, in itself, a reportable offense under that rule,which you seem to agree it's not, maybe I used overly flowery terms, but that's irrelevant to the point, which i felt was quite clear.

Honestly, the only way for a DPS to pull without ever tanking is to be ranged and hit from behind the tank.

You really underestimate the power of the pity ranged hit every melee minus MKN has plus a gap closer towards the Tank, not all who pull do that, but it is the ideal way to handle things if you are going that route.

It's definitely not done to benefit the party.

There is an argument it is a very minor benefit since it will allow the SGE to have marginally better DPS through the fight, but even ignoring that painfully pedantic argument, it doesn't have to be, it only needs to be neutral, me doing /mogdance or /lophop while the boss is untargetable and I don't need to move doesn't benefit the party either(and at least in one occasion, it was to our detriment, I was in Thornmarch, did /mogdance during phase transition, and it mesmerized a sprout enough that they ceased paying attention to the fight to ask me where that was from, funny story that), but it will be a cold day in hell before I don't do that.
