"Pull Everything" in Dungeon Parties

What?

For someone complaining about tank responsibility, you seem to have neglected it's a tank's responsibility to pull. Therefore, purposefully pulling more means you've stepped outside your job parameters should we're to go by your logic. No one is obligated to keep another player alive because you decided to arbitrarily dart off-- away from the group-- to grab additional mobs. Once again, your argument proves hypocritical since to do that, you have to stop DPSing, which is your job, to pull, which is the tank's job. See how that doesn't quite line up? In fact, the devs dislike our rush strategies hence why gates were periodically added throughout Heavensward dungeons. They don't want tanks pulling entire rooms. What makes you think forcing mass pulls on tanks will see them punish the tank for allowing you to die? That's simply idiotic.

Regardless, GMs couldn't care less anymore than they do with healers who refuse to DPS. They will merely chalk it up to "playstyle differences" and suggest you blacklist players you don't wish to associate with again. Nothing else will come of your reports.

Putting all of that aside, your stance is rather presumption. Tanks pulling small generally aren't confident in their abilities. I have a friend who is terrified of tanking. If she were to ever attempt it, I guarantee she won't pull more than a single pack for a long while. Forcing her to suddenly grab one or two more won't abruptly make her a better tank. It'll likely have her panic spam Overpower/Unleash/Flash/CDs because she's not yet accustom to tanking and couldn't react. All you would have accomplished in this scenario is making her that much more unlikely to continue trying to improve, and wasted everyone else's time. Bluntly stated, if I were apart of that group, you'd be who I Vote Dismiss, not the tank. And this is coming from someone who mass pulls constantly.
