    Why is it....

    That tanks in raids like to show off how big their junk is? Almost every raid I do, I try to push through quickly so I tend to be the first tank there and I pull. I will keep aggro until the tank uses provoke because they can't catch aggro so I have to use provoke. Every time I have to fight for it because the other tank wants to be a badass. And I wanna know why?

    You're basically shadow boxing with like minded tanks. Take off your stance and let them tank, if they want it so badly. now their healers have to deal with it.

    Why do you fight for aggro? Because you want to be badass?
    Well, whatever reason you have for wanting to have aggro is probably the same reason that other tank wants to have aggro.

    You're doing the same thing they want to do. They provoked? Don't provoke back. Screw it, let them have it. Maybe they'll get squashed in the process. Who knows.

    Can Tanks Wars be petty and ridiculous that may have detrimental affects on the alliance or trial? Sure! Is it worth getting angry over? Nope.

    Lol I'm just wondering why. It doesn't make sense to me. I mean I get its fun being MT but is it really worth being petty when the current MT is tanking better then you? I'll admit that in the past I used to to it on purpose when another tank pissed me off so I would troll them and wipe the whole alliance by taking the boss, but now that there is no DPS penalty, its like thats every tanks goal. They only run every Alliance/normal raid/trial with tank stance on at all times

    Sounds to me that the problem here is not the pettiness of the other tanks...

    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.
