Just a query on Tanks running before all trash is cleared

[Makeda]

To keep it brief: No, they are just bad.

...

Basically tanks get called bad if they do NOT do this...

And I guess here we have people calling them bad if they do DO it...

Can't win either way.

'pull more, go, go, go'
vs
'why u pull bro?'

So... what to do?

Neither of those is what this thread is asking for. I'll put it in your terms:

'why you stay in one spot long enough for dps to think it's okay to pop all their cooldowns and then run to the next pack so that those cooldowns are wasted?'

I get why a tank might have to stop to collect a stray mob if one gets away from them, but once you've stood in one spot for longer than 10 seconds it should be committed to. I've noticed this too, but have chalked it up to the higher number of players that on average are newer due to the recent expansion. It'll die off soon, and we'll go back to the usual one pack at a time vs. wall to wall pull arguments.
