    Because we already see posts of people getting kicked for "Omg tank can't hold threat" and "omg healer let me die." It may not have happened to you, it may not have happened to your friends. But it DOES happen.

    There are two times I get a que as in progress for a dungoun.

    "Tank was an asshole."
    "Tank couldn't hold threat."

    I never get repped in on a DPS because "They couldn't do DPS", but this could be my own bias of not playing it as much.

    No, there were no posts before my initial post that said anything like that. My first post was on the first page. Just keep in mind that me and Masssterchef's exchange happened before anything tank related or healing related was even mentioned.

    hmn, perhaps I'm misunderstanding you guys (I'm a little loopy this morning. No idea why, sorry!)

    But my understanding was, that she was basically saying we should be allowed to hold everyone to the same standard. We can see tanking/healing, because tanking = threat, and healing = my HP did(n't) hit 0, but there's no real way to hold DPS to the same standard as tanking/healing. Right now, a good tank and heal can basically outlive bad DPS. Likewise, a good DPS could kill something so fast that a bad healer or tank might not be as noticable.

    What they were saying is that it seems somewhat unfair that you can kick Tanks/Heals for being Bad in their role, but if you show a DPS is bad in their role and someone wanted to remove a weaker link? That would somehow make them ... well...THE DEVIL

    I get it. It's a good thing to hold everyone to the same standard. But it's also rude to just assume that someone holds a double standard.
