Remember When Tanks Asked Before Large Pulls?

[AdventZero]

I don't really ask, mostly cause I'll just get "I don't care" or "do whatever you feel like" the few times people even take the time to reply, I just tell them "speed pulls unless you request otherwise, I don't really care either way". The reason is people don't want to be blamed if something goes wrong. The tank ask what they want, they say large, group wipes, person who asked for large pulls is at fault. On the other hand if you tell them it's speed pulls unless asked otherwise they can safely agree without fear since they can just blame the tank like always. Or in the rare case request small pulls for one reason or another. The only rule is: Always let them know, might be an easy dungeon, but that healer might be half asleep or dealing with a cold and not up to speed run standards.

The Healer/Tank is actually not *always* the culprit, depending on the situation, on speed runs. I've played some dungeons where it was the DPS that were causing problems or were majorly at fault for being reckless. If the healer can't handle a large pull, you'll know once you have to restart if you didn't ask LOL. Pulls like that can be rough, even on someone with a decent amount of healer experience depending on the dungeon and how versed your party is on the battle flow.

Not disagreeing with you, but I just felt like that should be mentioned. Most players simply have a fluke or just can't keep up with the action. It happens, but there are definitely some instances where someone just.....sits there, hampering the group on purpose.

I know, that comment was more focused on people not answering me then about who gets blamed for what. When ever I ask what kind of pulls people want and they say something along the lines of "I don't care" I can't help but think: "No, you do care. If I pulled small right now you'd be upset that this 15-20 minute dungeon run just took 30-45 minutes." But, not wanting to start anything, I never say it in game. Instead I've just come up with a theory that their scared of me, the big mean tank (I don't really think this about myself), getting all mad at them for making me do large pulls when I might not want to, or are even able, to in the first place. So I guess you could say it's just something I sarcastically tell my self as I set off to large pull for my silent and not caring no opinion parties when I get them. ^^;

Edit: I should note that groups who don't want large pulls will normally tell me. It's just the ones who do want large pulls who get all silent about it.
