    It's not selfish to roll for stuff you want.

    There's no reason for tanks or healers to always greed and give up their perks. Tanks and healers are in high demand. Even with the small perk of not rolling against another tank or healer in 4 person content, they are in high demand.

    If you think tanks and healers have a great deal because they get a couple extra pieces of gear now and then, then the solution is simple: play as a tank or healer. If that isn't enough to motivate you to change from dps, then you've realized it isn't a big deal and your argument is invalid. If it does motivate you, then great. When you feel like getting a couple pieces of extra gear, help out with the tank and healer shortage.

    It's selfish to ask people to give up their perks, when it's so easy to instead change roles and help out if you want those perks.

    I never asked them to. I will play any role I feel like and can play them all well. If someone is rolling need for this reason I will leave, I don't care about the 30 minute timer, I will not play with you. And most of the time, I'm the tank or healer.

    So, yes, It's selfish.

    You do realize the only perk for playing Tank is the fact you'll eventually get a mount when you do so in Coil/Extreme Primals, right? Your perk is not you being entitled to everything just because you're playing an in-demand job, that is selfish. Tanks and Healers already get 'Adventurer in Need' bonuses 99% of the time over DPS. And honestly, the fact it's obvious most lot it for seals over the fresh person who want it to actually use..that's generally why I'd gladly pass.

    As much as I'd want seals, I'm not that selfish.
