This results in one of two outcomes: healers have to spam heals causing aggro to shift to them (and their eventual death), or tank dies (which usually results in tank blaming healer).
When did this lack of strategy and teamwork with regards to tank players become a thing? Is this just a NA phenomenon? Is anyone else seeing this?
Part of the problem is boredom from lack of endgame content. Also some parties DEMAND speed from their tanks and as such we are always pressured to move as quickly as possible through dungeons or risk endless bitching. Also some tanks are just not meant to be Tanks.
