All I know is you have until my Earthly Star explodes to pull.

Biggest problem with this is when there is someone watching a cutscene, in something like the Tower of Paradigms Breach, that is decent in length, and your star explodes when it's half done. Those type of situations are why the ready check is available though...yet a large number of AST decide that the second they reach the boss arena(even when the raid didn't start for a long time as everyone was waiting for cutscenes to end before the gate dropped) they will throw their Earthly Star down.

There are only two things going on in my head when I see a submissive and attackable mob in front of me and this is one of them.

When you deal with human beings, never count on logic or consistency.
Fluid like water. Smooth like silk. Pepperoni like pizza.
Damn, this thread went up and down as <place etc here> Rollercoaster.
expecting a YPYT Toxicity, barely existed, so it morphed into "It's Situational" which I respect. and then the last few comments where "IDC, I do as I please." which can be just as bad, if not worse that YPYT<specially if merged together>
Had a tank lose their temper in Prae recently, cause they lagged behind leading to an unnecessary death(will not assume the lagging behind was intentional, despite the fact it's always a possibility)<by lagging behind, I mean the Mounted Reaper section, with active cannons> so some of the mobs that were not killed, reset. <accidents and deaths happen, but simply put they got mad cause the expected pace wasn't theirs, and the common and normal pace, even with sprouts was higher than what they were doing. so they were slower than the normal pace, but got mad cause they had to go back and kill the mobs cause they were slow.> which is it, fast or slow. in content everyone is meant to complete.
But eh, it is what it is.
<I tend to stick to the tanks tail, unless they give the unnecessary feel that they hate it.>
But in easy content, there is no need for it, unless the player actively is causing death, or unnecessary MASSIVE damage.<which I had to deal with once, when a DPS accused of running ahead as a healer, to then hypocritically run ahead of the party.>
<and then there are the times accidental pulls happen, but those are easier to spot.>
one thing for sure, so used to the insta pulls in content and trials by tanks, I always Swiftcast, but if they timer/ready check, it kills my cooldowns.
[and agreed, at some point Readycheck and Timer should be a menu that has tick able/saveable options to auto-drop a preset timer once all players are ready/mostly ready for A.Raids<unless someone in CS]
The ones that do a tank buster 10s into the encounter.
If I'm tanking and the jumping spaz DNC/BRD decides to pull, they might eat that buster. Oops.
YPYT is fine to be ignored with trash mobs who can't really hurt anyone much. Completely different story on boss mobs in trials.
Ultimately it's about respect. Someone wants a timer. 10-15s isn't asking much. Respect it.
Don't respect it? Don't be surprised when people don't respect the puller. It's a 2 way street.

Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
not waiting for a 30s pull timer on roulettes because jimmy wants to do the super-optimized balance openner
