We cannot tolerate this...

[Amyas]

As a tank, the biggest problem I have is impatience. I do not generally speed run. I'll skip mobs if they can be skipped and such, but blech, I haven't speed ran before and I don't want to learn how to do it with a group of randos. I think the reason people believe tanks tend to be the more rude and mean players are because we tanks put up with so much abuse and just general putdowns ('oh you pulled that mob? lol' 'why would you even pull that there, f***christ'), some people just break and project all that back on whoever was unlucky enough to group with em at that time.

I know I made a mistake before in a df group when I let a summoner get eaten by a dullahan she accidently aggroed because I thought she was being impatient and running ahead and pulling. Didn't say anything, just pointedly watched her die while killing the other dullahan, then proceeded to solo the other one down. I apologized when she said something like 'you can still tank even if I make a mistake, can't you?' and I realized she really did just make a mistake, and I felt bad. Sometimes, its just not as simple as one group of players being D***wraiths.
