"Pull Everything" in Dungeon Parties

[Fynlar]

A small part of me is convinced you're a troll but on the off chance I'm wrong...

You do not have "control of the run" as a tank. You are not "entitled" to anything special as a tank other than (probably) Adventurer in Need and my gratitude for doing a role I don't enjoy.

Sorry, you're wrong.

The tank is the designated puller and that's all there really is to it.

A really sad attitude - one can't help but wonder this seems to be such a problem for you? Are you in fact pulling poorly, increasing the likelyhood of dps grabbing another group while you smack away at a single mob?

It really isn't that much of a problem for me, to be honest.

Nowhere in the terms of service does it explicitly state that ONLY tanks are allowed to pull. Nowhere in the tutorial of the game, during any quest, UI element, or any other form of information in the game does it state that ONLY tanks are allowed to pull.

You're right.

Because it's something that *common sense* should be able to tell players on its own, by the time they see that most dungeon mobs are a lot stronger than open world mobs and are the whole reason they warrant having a tank present in the dungeon in the first place.

But something to think about: "I won't tank because someone else pulled." That IS against terms of service and is a reportable offense, which I will report someone for 10/10 times. I'm so sick of this "You should bow down to my will or else" attitude and you know what? I'm glad GMs punish people like that. They punish people like you because no matter what, you are not allowed to just sit there and refuse to do your job and contribute. This is a MMO. It's a team game built around cooperation. You are refusing to cooperate out of spite because you think you are better than others and you adhere to this unwritten rule that a few entitled individuals like you feel should be enforced because reasons. You are not better than others.

Yeah, tank focusing on what they pull is a reportable offense, but someone else trying to pull over the tank and essentially doing the same thing you are accusing tanks of, trying to force tanks to "bow down to my will or else", is perfectly fine, right? Hypocrisy at its finest.

As a tank you ARE REPLACEABLE.

Did you mean that we're always able to just hop in another dungeon? Because yeah, you're right. I've seen lots of groups held up for a while due to a missing tank though, based on the number of times I have queued inprog for a dungeon that's lasted 45m or more.
