Tank mentality.

[Tigercub]

There really is a flip side to this. Truth is that tanking is a game of co-operation with your party. A fairly simple one in most cases, but it still requires some understanding on everyone's part. Unfortunately it sometimes falls on me to have to explain to some people how certain mechanics work, just out of inherently being in the best position to do so. Most people are cool about it, but reactions vary. Some people take friendly advice, filter it through some kind of insane thought process, and somehow arrive at "this guy is a major asshole". I don't really care to think too hard about the psychology behind it. To quote a very wise woman: "Ain't nobody got time for that".

TBH though, I really don't have many issues along these lines. I don't see it as a real issue in the FFXIV community.
