I am not new to gaming.I AM new to MMORPG games.
I'm a hack and slash kind of guy, love swords and shields and heavy armour.So, Gladiator it was. But I find out that I am what's called a "Tank". Cool,don't mind being the fall guy.Problem is,I seem to have to actually GARNER enemies attention.I'm not the strategic kind of person,I like to run in steel swinging and cut down everything.However,that's more of a "DPS" role.I don't want a lance nor an axe.
Anyway,I say this because I tried to party up in the Sastash(sp?) quest and got the boot mid-dungeon with the comment "Worst tanking ever" (and a slur of other comments).I was using flash,I was running into the fray to get attention.Enemies just weren't going for me.What else was I to do?

I'm kind of at a loss.Seems I can't use my favourite equipment because I can't "tank".This made worse by the fact I use a PS3,I cannot really converse with people so I kind of LOOK arrogant (It takes forever to type on a controller).Any advice?
