Why Don’t You Tank Poll

[Kanitezz]

Take the poll please.

I know everyone that plays the game won't do the poll, but I was bored, and this came to mind. Anyway.

These are the two main complaints I've seen when it comes to people not wanting to tank.
Is tanking too boring, or too stressful?
Since I didn't think of more complex responses...
If your answer is softer like “It just doesn’t interest me” just say too boring.
If your answer is something like "When other people play "whatever role" they don't know what they're doing" let that fall under too stressful since you're still worrying about something.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks to everyone who participated!

Been warming up to it lately, but I rest firmly in the camp of "too stressful"
Constantly scared that I'm not pulling "enough". Or too much, or not holding mobs as well as I should, and so on, and so on, which stresses me out.

There's no option because everyone blames the tank for their own shortcomings?

Too boring. Keeping hate is child's play. Then you find yourself pushing DPS since keeping hate is easy, and then you ask yourself... Why not just play a DPS class? DPS classes are more interesting.

I don't mind tanking in raid content, but faceroll content it's just... ugh.

This right here. I leveled war myself in dungeons and was stressed out the first couple attempts. Luckily, everyone I got in the DF was patient with me and my small pulls. I did nothing but doubt what I was doing, even with my husband and my friend telling me I was actually doing really well. I'll just stick to healing...

The 'Because people would notice faster that I am bad at this.' option.

I don’t really like the playstyle so “too boring” I guess. Raldo summed up my feelings perfectly.

>.> Well that probably falls under too stressful, but good point.

I would say too stressful, but I'm a healer main. So perhaps it's just a different kind of stress? I've also never tanked in 8-man, so there is a lack of confidence that probably applies as well.

Thanks. I created the post on my phone at first. But I'll try that just in case.
