Ever consider that those tanks most likely have that attitude because they were treated like crap by dps and healers constantly?

So tanks are jerks to dps/heals because dps/heals were jerks to tanks because tanks were jerks...
Eh fuck it. How about we just say people should be responsible for their own behavior? If you're a jerk, you're a jerk. Not "because of [other guy who was a jerk first]. Because you were a jerk.
When in doubt, assume sarcasm
Based on this logic Healers are the #1 jerks. if we go by who was treated badly. ever been blamed for people dying even tho you had nothing to do with their deaths? tank died because he dosn't know how to use CDs? or dosn't move out of AOEs. Hell, Healers are downright EVIL.

It's not the Job: it's the players behind the computer. Some lack education, single kid, spoiled that can think they can do whatever they want bec hey, Internet Anonymity.. (heck even older people cause, you know.. still the same old)
Guess what: you've been treated like dirt? Report Button is there.
It's a pain to fill up, but eventually we'll get rid of some of them, while the other ones will learn the lessons, that this game requires teamwork, patience, and.. fun altogether.
Honestly, my reply was more a knee-jerk reaction to the victim playing card and using it as an excuse for being a dick yourself.It's sad to see that you guys had some hard times with Tanks, but let's not put all of them in the same basket.

I know there are rotten apples in every role, i met them from all sides (even unspected ones like suddenly a person blowing up out of nowhere)
hm we still playing FFXIV?
Ive seen tanks with horrible attitudes, just the same as healers and dps. Ive seen tanks get treated the worst, but that has only been my experience with 10+
years of MMO experience.
They get treated worst when they are worse. I am PLD and changed to NIN as another PLD tried to explain me that Titan needs an OT and flamed the whole time. Of course he ignored that he was not moving out of AoE, falling down.... so I decided to be a good DPS instead and only change to tank if it is really needed. And I never regret to change my job.
Small Story:
Yesterday I helped out a completly new archer from my FC in toto and his door bell was ringing so he followed me and I explained it to the group (healer also from my FC). As I am totally overgeared for that dungeon the DMG was just fine and I need to be carefull not to take aggro. What was the response from the TANK? Flaming that someone should leave while the door bell is ringing instead of going afk. I mean he was DK and not using aoe aggro once.... but a big mouth. So I pulled and tanked all mobs and mid bosses until he starts crying that I should let the tank do this. Well after I told him I would if he would be a "tank" and not only a puppet with huge life he was quite and really does his damn job.
You think this is special? Nope it is not! Why do you see more DPS jerks as TANKS? Cause there are the double amount of them in each party! So do the math: Double amount means also double chance for jerks....
