    generally why when I tank, I tank with people in my fc since I am slow, I admit I am not a confident tank and since I main healer, I tend to know where things get tight if the tank has blown their mitigation. So I dont usually rush things through faster than I am comfortable with.

    Oh I understand getting the occasional inexperienced tank (even if increasingly less so with levels past their boost when the MSQ experience clearly went to another job).

    I just don't understand the hypocrisy of saying that a party asking their tank (who has yet to drop below 80% HP even without getting a single GCD heal during the fight itself) to pull more than a single pack at a time is "forcing" their playstyle upon others and has breached the ToS even while insisting that the tank refusing to pull more, despite being fully able to survive without a single press other than to spam their first AoE button, is somehow blameless.

    One is a request that the bottlenecking individual follow majority preferences, at least to the extent possible for that individual. The other is a literal barrier, penetrable only by a kick.

    unless the bottleneck is a complete jerk and toxic as heck... why kick from a 20 minute or so dungeon , just finish and move on.
