    I'm a tank but I agree on the poor treatment thing. It's almost discouraged me from the role several times. Tanks set the pace of a dungeon run, are expected to know more about fight mechanics, and a large number of the fights put a disproportionate amount of responsibility on the tank. If you lag while DPSing, you often die. But if you lag while tanking, the WHOLE GROUP dies. From my personal experience, it seems like I can do a great (though less than perfect) job as a tank and I'll still get insulted. I'll play a healer or DPS job though and I can watch TV while smashing buttons or lag out where I'm not even doing anything for 2-3 min and nobody even CARES! LOL

    I don't think tanking is boring, or at least it's not any more boring than the other roles, which could all use a bit more interesting skill rotations. Just my opinion though.

    Tanks should stop acting like the victims. Every other class gets just as much abuse by tank players.

    I actually usually play WHM, or Scholar. They are my level 50 classes. I never once got crap on those, like I do when tanking. I mark kill orders, ask people politely, and they still just do what they want then complain to me when I die cause they decide they want to pull extra.

    Or they decide to run in and pull aggro before I get a chance to explain a fight to a new player. Yes, this game still gets new players.
