"You pull, you tank" is a bad mentality

[TBerry]

Yet here you are trying to justify petty revenge and letting people die for having the gall to not follow the tanks sense of etiquette.

Notice how (and look through all my comments) I have never said that I MYSELF pull ahead of the tank. Because by default I don’t. I ask the tank, I encourage them and I attempt to help them. Will I pull an extra stray mob they might have missed; yes; will I pull an entire extra pack the tank doesn’t; no. Yet here you are painting me as an antisocial egomaniac because I’m pointing out all this weird logic from the last 7 pages you and the other 2 people have been spouting can be flipped right round to the same effect but none of you see that because you are starting from your own circular point of “the tank must be right therefore the tank is right”.

It's not just the tank it's the whole party. And it can happen, but it's just as much the fault of the DPS as it is the tank's.I'm fairly certain most tanks will just get pissy, and a vote of dismissal is more likely. Also no one dies, just damage. I never did YPYT as tank, but I also don't pull as a DPS. Because that's how we do it.

So now we should be supporting people’s illusion of the trinity when the game doesn’t even support it mechanically?

Can you support my “illusion of the trinity” by not healing yourself as a tank when I’m the healer (asking for a friend)

And there it is. Your ulterior motive and the root of your problem with tanks.
Because you are not the sole lifesaver and star of the party.

You can harp on about YPYT (it IS reportable), but we all know it's not about that. The thread has never been. You want to use it as a leverage to coerce and punish people. And OP probably pushed their luck and got kicked.
And you try to justify because it's not a mechanic, because clearly you don't understand the meaning of "community".

And people wonder why NA is so toxic and no one actually wants to play with others.

It kind of reminds me of the the "arguments" griefers use in PvP MMOs when they zerg and spawncamp noobs.
