Why does everyone blame the tank?

[Leigaon]

There are a lot of reasons most tanks don't do random groups and no amount of rewards will prevent that.

This is true, I've caught people being just horrible to tanks recently. Nothing S.E. can do to have you want to go into a run just to be treated like dirt by a DPS.

I joined a run yesterday with a BLM who was in the middle of yelling at the PLD on his first time in vigil, and just got ugly. Finally voted to dismiss the run, as he went through his rant of everything that was going wrong in the run which surprisingly didn't include himself. It was an interesting thing to walk into.

But tanks get blamed first, part of it's because everyone else doesn't think they did anything wrong. Though really it's a mixture of everyone contributing in some way and there's a few variations of how things can go down that would cause a pt to die and not just the tanks fault either. But those DPS..are sensitive little flowers that you can't tell them that.
