    I don't want to tank dungeons anymore...

    Each time I get in heavensward's dungeons, a dps or more ofter the healer (yeah the healer) just go foward and pull the mobs before me. I tell them not to, they get mad and start blabbering things like he doesn't have time for this and I should be pulling more. I am not a bad tank, in fact, I usually don't have issue with more bobs at once.

    My point is I should be the one getting them and not the others just because they want ultra fast clear. I like taking time and not having a cluster hell in front of me. Why people needs to always be super fast with everythings and not actually enjoy the game? Playing a game or a MMO shouldn't be at any time a chore.

    Peoples seems to forget that video games is for fun, not stats/numbers.

    I totally agree with you, but there are people that find just those stats/numbers to be the fun part. How and why? I don't understand myself. Epeen probably.

    Let them tank it if they insist on pulling mobs for you.

    Some people don't find 'taking time' fun.

    I'm not on the game to baby sit or be patiently waiting for the tank to mark everything, have a coffee and smoke, then use his cool downs and assimilate aggro. I just want my run done smoothly because on some days, I have limited time to play or have other things on the game I'd rather do than to wait for someone to 'take time'. This is extremely annoying as a healer with a squishy tank who will die within 1-3 seconds of a pull but require 1-20 seconds of waiting each pull due to unknown reasons.

    I feel an option for fast clears/ experienced or non experienced in duty finder would solve the casual/ cut scene complication we keep having.

    If they want to pull, i'll usually let them tank until they quickly die, then i'll pick the mobs up.

    Ignore those type of players. I have learned a long time ago that there alot of those type of players and they will never learn. Let them pull and let them die, they either let you pull or they continue and die. Worst case, you will be kicked out of the group, but in my opinion that itself is a blessing.

    Better to move on and join a new group, as a tank the queue wont take long for you.

    I agree as well. I like a simple run. Having people run ahead miss buffs or over pull in an attempt to speed run can ruin runs. I hate rushing only to wipe because of an inpatient players.

    Hey thanks a lot for the positive feedback! I am not squishy at all. I can manage myself quite good, it's just that those people try to run things they shouldn't.

    Just wanted to vent a little, sorry for that.

    Actually, slow tanks are bad tanks for daily dungeon runs in FFXIV. you should know that already.
