Tanks don't deserve anymore respect than healers or DPS.If tanks were treated with more respect they would keep tanking.
Some dungeons I have been in a lot of people love to rag on the paladin or warrior for not rushing or flashing when they flash a lot.
I don't blame people who stopped tanking cause of this, cause if it continues I see tell you now its only gonna get worse.
I am a tank, I had people talk crap even when I was doing good for no apparent reason.
I keep to myself and do my job and I guess sometimes that's not good enough for people.
It is why I leveled up dragoon for my DPS, I also feel like not even tanking anymore, I do sometimes but usually take my DPS now days, even though my paladin has better stuff.
It is just not worth it hearing people whine instead of playing their own jobs, tired of reading their crap, community was much better in FFXI never heard one complain when you died it was always up beat positive stuff.
I'm pretty sure that's what he's saying. Generally new tankers get less respect than any other role.
On my alt character (warrior) I didn't come across any issues while tanking (overpower OP haha), but on my paladin I came across a LOT of issues. I was in AK -- one of the starter lv 50 dungeons -- to get my relic. Both of the DPSers I got were ilv100 or something and boy did they rage at me. I did as good as I personally could as a beginner paladin. I followed the advice I got from the paladin tank in my static coil group, but I lost aggro here and there and those DPSER swore at me like no tomorrow. Haven't heard that many swears in such a short period before. I ended up being kicked for loosing aggro... in AK.
