"You pull, you tank" is a bad mentality

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

AV pulls are so much overrated at this point it baffles me how there are still people moaning & rage quitting for getting it in roulette.

If any Tank does this to me when I'm on DPS I just auto attack for the rest of the dungeon. They have decided they want to waste time so I'll join in. I'm a Tank/Healer main since day 1 so honestly this doesn't come up too often.

Yeah, but AV first room generally is easy, just pull to left side of each frog and stay there until pack is dead, move to next frog, don't stand in the bad. And it could be W2W'd, but in a random you cannot assume that your team is necessarily up to it, and doing the "pack per frog" thing might extend the run by 40-50 seconds? Across the level range, there are some dungeons that have a similar "you can do it, but is it worth it" section or two where caution makes more sense. If those spots honk the DPS off...cool, go pull for me if you think we got this. We'll see. If we pull it off, good for them and I now know I was being too cautious. Nothing better than git'ing gud, yeah?

Do it anyways because it teaches the healer a lesson: stop afking and use sprint so you can catch up with the tank to heal them.

Otherwise they become an Edda

If someone pulls ahead of me despite my best efforts and with sprint on constant cooldown, and before I can be even in range for a ranged attack (as PLD you don't get the gap closer until lvl 81 or so), you bet your ass I'm going to let that person eat some damage first before I grab aggro.

I mean that's literally the optimal thing to do, HP is a resource. If I pull ahead and you do this I'm actually only going to be glad that I can proc my arm's length for extra mit.

"You pull, you tank" isn't just a bad mentality, it's a psycho mentality. Are you really going to sit there and say that cratering the run because your ego isn't being stroked is in any way defensible behavior?
When you queue into a dungeon run, you're expected to be there to play the game, not to have the other three play babysitter for your personal delusions of grandeur. You play to the best of your abilities, and if you don't you're griefing.

I don't think it's a big deal as long as they pull the mobs into the aoe deathball where they belong
If they pull ahead and start kiting the mobs in massive circles around the room, then that's just not it

Jesus... We have definitely some tanks in here.
