Tank entitlement vs group entitlement

[Feidam]

Ultimately, that's your line to draw.

There's a point in the sand where, if Square were to action you, you'd shrug at them and say "so what?"

Because if they'd action you for what you felt was necessary to enjoy the game, they no longer provide a game you'd care to play.

In my own case, I kick tanks that refuse to pick up adds whether a dps pulled them or not. And I don't care if Square leaps to their defense. So what.

I've only needed to do it a handful of times over the time I've played, but the vote always succeeds (remember, the dps tanked for the tank so I get a free yes vote on the kick) and a GM *never* comes calling.

I'd simply say the tank refused to tank, so I got rid of them with my party. The GM cannot object without destroying my confidence in the leadership of the game.

See the thing is a tank refusing to tank all the pull is something most players would argue is a legitimate reason to kick though. So that example would be one I wouldn’t fault anyone for kicking assuming they politely requested the tank to make sure to grab all the adds. It’s a far cry from kicking a tank because “I don’t feel he was pulling enough per pull”. One is failure to perform the role just like a dps that can’t meet the dps check; while the other is purely a personal preference on how to run the dungeon. I think that is kind of the distinctions they could possibly make if/when a report is made.

Also I wouldn’t be in a game I didn’t care to play. And If they sanctioned me because I broke the TOS that is on me and my behavior regardless of whether or not I agreed with the rule. When we play we are choosing to abide by their rules. We all accept the TOS when choose to play a MMO.
