Why is it....

[MistakeNot]

No. Tbh I felt equal toxicity from both and I'm getting sick of getting that kind of attitude and the accusations. It happens on every forum. You do know that not every thread HAS to have an issue or a complaint or even a rant. Can be a friendly discussion about anything and that's all this was supposed do be. A thread of "dude! You know I was wondering that myself!" And "you know, the probably just pissed about [insert dumb joke here]" kinda thing. Not what you and everyone else brought forth. Wonderful community we got here, my ads.

The way you phrased your initial question it very much sounded like a complaint, and in your other posts here you have indeed been complaining about the behaviour you asked about.
So please don't try to pretend it was just an innocent question and not a way of complaining.

I don't get why this is even such a big deal.
As long as one of the tanks is holding aggro, who cares which one? But aggro dick fights and healbot dick fights seem to be a huge thing in alli raids. As if whoever is currently holding aggro/ healing the fastest is the most useful and important one.

If another tanks provokes, I'll even give them a Shirk high five, turn off my stance and mash my dps buttons. This constant aggro war between tanks just pisses off melees unless they all stack neatly on top of each other... which rarely happens because everyone needs to see from the boss turning that another tank now has aggro and is more important.
I like to run ahead and pull because I like to speed things up but if another tank wants to be on MT duty so badly and doesn't fall asleep while pulling, I let them have it. If it causes problems because poor boss positioning/ squishy, that's on them. They wanted it, they better know how to deal with it.

Yes. Ive made complaint posts but most were done 6 years ago. I'm entitled to ask an innocent question. And no, my original post shows how baffled I am by the fact people have to be so selfish. If it was a complaint id be tell everybody to knock it off. But I just asked a damn question. You guys took it as a complaint just like every other forum on the internet. I could ask "why is the sky blue?" And you would take it as a complaint. So no. It was an innocent question so stay in your lane and find some other post to bully.

See? Idk why it is either. I'm not as nice to give it to the other tank unless the take aggro first but it begs me to wonder "why?" It doesn't change gameplay. So what is the "need" to be MT?

Tank Wars always make me laugh. More so when I'm playing tank and end up stealing aggro with my grey tanks dps not using provoke. Also I keep stance on just in case the MT randomly explodes.

I care because when I carefully placed the boss so that melee can have optimal positionals and boss abilities dont randomly screw up most "tactics" (for example O10 says hi on that regard).. and other tank provokes from other side of boss/arena.. just because they feel like provoke is part of rotation.

As for alliance raids (mostly ARR), I just find it funny how tanks fight over the boss while the adds are smashing healers into ground and no tank wants to touch them.

I mean sure, you can have the boss. But if someone wants to provoke it for no reason at least move the boss so it doesnt cleave everyone

In those situations i go grab up all the adds, which one would assume an aware tank would do? Call me crazy but grabbing adds sounds like something a tank would do, if the boss is already being held down. I dunno, sounds really far fetched right? Like the person responsible for cutting the light switch on standing there yelling "why is nobody cutting the light switch on?!?!"
