    This is really interesting to me, as I quit playing on American servers mostly because of lag, but also because of the sheer number of people with horrible attitudes. People quitting dungeons or primals after one wipe; screaming or swearing at those they thought were playing badly; the sheer entititlement and lack of patience.

    Of course I met lovely players too, but they were the minority. Since being on my JP server, every single instance has been pleasant. People are patient and supportive! People aren't afraid to say it's their first time running something!

    I actually got up the courage to try tanking recently.

    Personally I didn't want to tank before because of the responsibility, and the reactions you get when you make a mistake. I play this game to relax and have fun, not to be abused!

    I wish people would be more patient with new tanks/healers.

    This was when I was in beta, I joined a jp server due to wanting to actually beta test and not just play the game (work got in the way) and the few dungeons I did do I kept on getting players who were exactly like you describe it. Granted I realize not all of them were japanese players, there were a plethora from the other south east asia countries. Same issues with american/english speaking except when dealing with english speakers I knew they understood me when I'd shout boss. Or even auto texted boss 15 times to indicate they should stop fighting the adds and assist the archer with the boss. (2/3 bad exp. Not alot to go off of but enough to make me shy away from that server.)

    I'd love to tank, I have a "Garuda's scream" I'd love to test out in a dungeon, but with the recent latency issues I could tank Sastasha in i90 and still be holding a group back because of delays.

    "Alot" is not a word. Allot is but it's unlikely to be what you want, try "A lot".

    I tank mostly, though I also like to do DPS on my Lancer and plan to try Thaumaturge and Black Mage at some point. I find tanking to be somewhat stressful at times but mostly once I have learned the quirks of a dungeon to be fun and somewhat relaxing. I set the pace, I am responsible for much of the success based on my decisions, and I enjoy holding threat. I think why some people dislike tanking is simply that tanking does not really generate big numbers and there is a sense of responsibility that is very visible.

    It's not boring (for warriors), it's not difficult, its the unrealistic pressure that your party members put on you. They expect you to perform 110% while all the healers do is sit back, occasionally heal you if you get half or just throw ss + regen. The dps just do their rotation and dodge (or eat) aoe's. We are watching our health, cool downs, predicting the next set of attacks so we can properly use the said cool down, maintain hate on the boss/adds/both and dodge aoe's. So we are already dealing with alot and we don't need rl hate from party members.

    Really. You think your healers are just sitting back and occasionally healing you? For someone who's complaining about the unrealistic perceptions other have of their job, your perception of others' jobs seems even less based in reality.

    I've played both tanks at 50 and think both are fun on different situations. I'm fine with tanking as long as I've done the dungeon/run 5+ times before. First time is always messy and possibly a wipe fest when I'm trying to figure out what to pull, where to pull, which way to make the mobs face etc. Darkhold and Wanderer's Palace were nightmares to me on first tries and I was ready to give up tanking, but my healer friend kept encouraging me and my tank friend gave me tips and I managed to pull through. I haven't tanked Coil or Extremes, and I don't plan to, as I leveled both tanks only to help my friends to level their classes through dungeons.

    Going back to my scholar which is my main, is so relaxing. Can live happily in a bubble of ignorance and bliss. I didn't learn Crystal Tower tactics before I actually took my monk there even though I had done CT ~50 times on scholar before that. Though... Twintania is giving me grey hair as a scholar. x'D

    Support roles are more crucial to the teams success it has been like that in every mmo. DD is the most easy and relaxing class to play hence why it's so popular.

    let the idiots die, and tell ur healer to stop healing that dps......should only take so many deaths before they learn, or u can get vote kicked, and requeue and get into group with them and troll them
    its how i would do it for idiots like that (or u can just report them if they vote kick u) just need to put them in their place
