(I do admit that the challenge of keeping them alive is fun, but it gets old after a few pulls)

    I like fast runs but sometimes they need to go a bit slower to let the healer keep up, I've seen tanks die a few times where they kept pulling mobs and run ahead of the healer while he tries his best to catch up with him trying to heal, it's kinda funny to see tbh.
    Was in a run where the tank would run forward not waiting for healing, around corners, and when the healer asked them to slow down they retorted with something along the lines of "not everyone plays the same"...kind of wish the healer let them die.

    I was in a Copperbell run where the tank pulled everything up to the first boss. Sadly, he died, then I did (as a DPS) and I got no XP whatsoever when he and his friends killed all the mobs.

    So yes, I'm against that sort of pulling in levelling dungeons because you may end up screwing over people who are using those dungeons to, gee I don't know, levelling maybe.

    If you sign up for a levelling roulette knowing you MAY get a low level dungeon and you don't want to run it at a slower pace (2-3 packs per pull), then form a pre-made and spare the rest of us the frustration of waiting 40 minutes in the queue only to be screwed out of XP because the tank was a... jerk.
