Cause apparently doing single pulls as a level 54 is still considered standard and okay cause they may get anxious. When questioned as to why would they play a role that makes them anxious they said cause they enjoy it. Which baffles me, if one enjoys something shouldn't they strive to do it well. Who wants to enjoy doing something poorly.
    Single pulling isn't bad play by the game's standard, only by the rushing, "git gut"-crowd. It has become bad standard by the communitie maximum efficiency mindset (and I'm not saying this is by itself a bad thing). But sure, someone with a comment like "take a pill" won't probably understand any of that. You and I don't know if he's playing "bad" out of pure malice hidden behind "tanxiety" just to ruin someone's day or not.

    While "take a pill" might not be the best thing to say, keep in mind the community votes people out of dungeons. Playing against the standard means you're going to get votes stacked against you.

    I won't bat an eye to click "yes" on voting to remove a single-pulling tank at 80, but in the 50s I might consider finding out if the single-pulling tank knows what buttons are.

    I'm not alone.

    Learn to play both ways, because the people you're matched with will determine if what you're doing is acceptable.
