Why no one tanks...

[Doo]

If you do not know the game mechanics while everyone else does and you fail because of that, how is pointing that out false? If they don't tell you, wont you repeat the same mistake the next go around? I rather a person tell me I'm lacking so I can improve than to go around causing my future parties headache because I am bad at my job.

You reading it wrong. I said the one that is blaming others is usually the one that doesn't know the mechanics. I.E Healers that spam med 2 and then get mad that the tank can't hold aggro in Titan HM. It's nice to get some good advice from good players but most of them just pretenders.

Real answer: Because they didn't make it faceroll enough to pickup/swap/hold aggro
Fake answer: It's not fun (linked to real answer)
Bad answer: Because people pick on me
Worst answer: Because healers suck
Possible alternate answer: Because they tried too hard to force tank swapping in everything with a badly designed hate swap ability and 2.5s gcds.

Aggro can be fun for tanks, but it's not fun for the whole group and that's why it was made easier in certain other mmos at some point. Overall, it eventually pulls in people more afraid to play tanks if the main job of a tank is less strenuous to perform as well.

Tanks are the masters of all humanoids. They are the superior beings of the world.

You will be shown no quarter.

in all seriousness though. Tanks who can't handle criticism shouldn't tank. Put people in their place, and tell them what the deal is. If they can't handle a wipe tell them to abandon, and get it over with. No need to be all touchy feel

^ No need to be rude to people either.

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

crappy bait is crap.

I think the issue is not constructive criticism, it's just criticism. I have no problems with letting people give me hints and tips about tanking an upcoming boss. In fact, my first time in a dungeon, I flat out ask "Ok, whatcha want me to do?".

The problem is what that picture represents. People not following the kill order, getting aggro, then dying, THEN proceeding to say the tank sucks blah blah blah. Tanks have no issues keeping hate on a bunch of mobs, but if you for a second you lose aggro, it's like the apocalypse to the DD. They need to relax, and realize it's no big deal.
