Tank mentality.

[Claire_Pendragon]

still not a good reason to be a douche~ getting mad at ppl wont make them any better.

Its not about being mad at mistakes.
its about being mad that THEY will will place the blame on the tank, instead of on those who messed up.

by taking the pre-emptive you can assign the fault before being the target of everyone elses anger.

As RepBreon said, the problem stems from how much their are harassed for other peoples mistakes.

I've developed low tolerance to people, when I know their actions are going to cause ME to be the one who takes the fall.

So I ask my group not to do X, or plz do Y.
When I see they dont follow this, I ask one more time.

If they are "Trying" I forgive them, but if they blatantly say "Ill do w/e I want L2P" I'm done.

Thats when the DBag comes out.

And every group after that follows int he same steps (Which is literally 90% of groups) tanks tend to develop a short fuse.

People arnt pricks for no reason, something OTHER people do causes it to happen.

And its not just FFXIV, its all MMOs.
(#1 reason stems from the fact ppl think being a DPS means an easy ticket to being lazy)
