Why is it....

[Basch1990]

Maybe being an overachiever and "first to grab the boss" has possibly pissed these tanks off, and you're starting to get a taste of what it feels like. I like to call it karma.

When nobody does anything then of course I'll be first to pull. Plus when you have run LoA every day for 2 weeks, you kinda wanna get it over with. Not wait 20 minutes for another tank to pull. Its not "karma," its called being a douche. :/ if you get pissed off in early content like that, you should rethink being a tank in the first place. With the Teleport, there is no reason to wait for every person especially when people purposely wait for tele. So instead of waiting, you can make it faster by pulling and some tanks do it with me. If they get there first, I let them pull and turn off aggro. Other tanks leave it on and fight. Its ridiculously childish.

Have you considered that they just wanna MT just like you? If you are fighting with them over whose MT, you are both basically in the same mindset

Then what seems to be the problem? OH I got it, you're tired of getting LotA in your alliance roullette. Stop doing Alliance roullette then.

It can be rather frustrating on bosses where you know you could position them better but that's pretty much all there is to it. Just turn your tank stance off and let them pull the boss around like a headless chicken, not much you can do about provoke spammers anyway.

Or. Come up with a better solution instead of being a jerk?

Not possible when op gradually flips a 360 and proves theyre posting for clicks. Complaining for issues they later claim don't really bother them. Again the solution has been stated, by several others. So I'll ask again really slowly. What Seems to be the
Problem then?

I have considered this and should be where communication comes in. I communicate about being MT they say nothing and just keep pulling it off.

Normally I'd agree, but I still hold the boss away from them even when they keep provoking so no way ima let the party wipe just because they wanna play dumb. I just want to know why people ignore common courtesy as well as blatantly ignore communication just because they wanna size me up. It's not a pissing contest :/

As someone who also likes being the MT of alliance raids, your "I rush to boss first to establish myself as MT" genuinely p***es me off.

My approach to MTing is asking "I'd like to tank the bosses, are the other two tanks ok with it? <se.10>", not trying to race to the boss to establish first aggro or claiming to be MT and arguing over it. You made it a contest by establishing your arbitrary rule that not many seem to agree with.

Key to your dilemma is correct communication.

To no one in particular. If every group you are in has an issue, the problem is unlikely to be everyone else.
