Trust me, friend, they exist.

I remember a run of WoD when someone told a sprout tank to "Stop being an idiot and face the boss away" during the big eyeball boss. So yeah, it happens.

I mean you shouldn't be facing most bosses at the party or alliance. And unless the tank didn't notice people dropping like flies and wonder why that was happening or care then yeah they're being an idiot. Could the person have asked them to turn the boss around in a nice manner? Definitely.

Well, of course. All of that goes without saying, but the sprout had become main tank for the first time during that boss fight (the other tanks died), and they were insulted shortly after that, so I think it was especially harsh.

Some people take a while to learn something new, especially under pressure. I'd rather not assume they're an "idiot" right off the bat.

Ah well at least they picked up the boss and not let it ping pong around eating the dps. I would have see if they settled down and looked like they were going to face it away or not. Some newer tanks end up keeping the boss in the direction they took argo on them at. Where to me it's then up to the party or alliance to reposition as at least the tank is keeping it in one place and isn't rotating it. I can also sort of understand the other person's perspective as if they were the ones who died due to the linear tank buster or even one of the healers who was just tired of picking up people. The only thing that gets my goat in that fight is when the tank doesn't give a lot of room for people to obtain the other debuff.

Yeah, the person who got upset was probably very angry, which is understandable. I'm not gonna act like I haven't gotten at least annoyed while playing with others. It's why I try to laugh it off or remind myself it's just a game and we're good.

Oh, I feel you. There have been times when I'd move to the other side of the room for that debuff, only to get killed by the boss' line attack.
