A newbie's experience to 24 (How can you resolve the tank problem? ;))

[Kinseykinz]

First: Watch your CS's. ...Now understand, that this will occasionally mean that the group charges in w/o you. But really that's their stupidity not yours. Watch your CS's. If they fight w/o you /meh. (this will happen again)

Second: If you were another role (aside from tank), this stuff would still happen to you....only it'd likely be the tank doing it to you.
-Tanks charging into final bosses while new player watches CS instead of it being the healer
-Tanks skipping mobs/ pulling larger packs/ spinning the mobs onto dps etc.
-Healers that forget they need to heal...or spam medica heal...or afk fairy heal
-DPS that charge ahead/dont' pay attention to kill order/etc


Point is, people are people...good and bad in all roles...impatient ppl in all roles and helpful people in all roles.

PS: Especially on primal battles: DO NOT skip your CS's...or feel pressured to in any way. Those folk there to 'help' you...yeah they are getting a sexy exp bonus (or tomes) for doing it...and even if you watch your CS's...they are getting their 'bonus' faster via helping on that storymode primal than they could have gotten it in a dungeon (the low-level roulette spits people out into dungeons OR storymode primals as needed). So basically, in exchange for that hecka-easy/fast bonus tomes/exp, they need to give you 3-5 mins to watch a CS. They will still be outta there in under 10 mins (most dungeons take 20-30 mins for perspective). TL/DR: They can suck it.
