I can account for the single time i turned it off but was by accident, my action bar did not toggle when i pressed. At least i noticed it and turned back on.
Toggle it multiple times though could be a variety of things like some have said.

Might be someone who didn't see the 5.0 aggro changes, and think that keeping his tank stance all the time is bad, really bad for his dps.Its understandable if the tanks are newer players, but i have seen tanks with old account who were not using their tank stance.
I have met few tanks like these in MSQ, they were not a sprouts, when asked they turned it on for a while then turned it off making run an unbearable and slow mess.
We should be able to report these players who intentionally refuse to commit their role and troll entire team.
He might even be thinking "uh, you never use diversion and want me to stay in tank stance to compensate for your lazyness ? If you are not using your aggro related skills i will not use mine !" XD


There's a kick feature and a report button. I would probably qualify it under harassment and mention that they are keeping the party hostage if they bring a buddy that denies the kick.
Forgot tank stance one time due to sync and I got flamed super hard by a guy in the chat for it. 's not hard to just drop a quick "tank stance" as a reminder, no need to start a riot in the first minute of the dungeon ._.



When I am healing and I see this, I ask them to leave tank stance on as it's not a toggle.
If they continue, I ask one more time (usually by this time the DPS say something).
If it continues, I eat the 30 minute penalty and go fishing. Not worth my time or frustration.
I've job changed to tank from a non tank job for something like expert roulette and ran through grabbing the first large pull before noticing I forgot to turn on tank stance.
I think its more disturbing I've done this on occasions and not noticed tank stance was off until the pull was dead because I wasn't actually loosing enmity to DPS. Makes me think they aren't doing their job since my name isn't Maple and I haven't sunk all my stats into defense to the point I'm immune to any damage a boss deals and can kill it by eating it... >.>

I've definitely slipped on not enabling it after sync turns it off once or twice. Both times I just got "tank stance" in chat and turned it on replying "thanks". Pretty amicable and smooth after.
I have a tank enmity-related question that I suppose here is as good as anywhere, and may sound horribly noobish, as I'm not a tank player, usually. Say I am the off tank in a trial, and the main tank obviously has their enmity on. Do I bother turning mine on at all during the fight, save for any adds that appear? I only ask because I've been told in trial to do so by some, and not to do so by others, leaving me somewhat confused and second guessing myself. >.<



You can easily just turn it on when needed and provoke if the other tank dies. Very few bosses in this game have a mechanic that targets the top two enmity, rather than purely tank roles.I have a tank enmity-related question that I suppose here is as good as anywhere, and may sound horribly noobish, as I'm not a tank player, usually.

Otherwise you can leave it off if you're not actively tanking.
That's what I thought, but just wanted to be sure. Thank you! :3
