    In my opinion it's most likely because of the general idea the boss will move to the middle on its own and that there's no need to position the boss.

    But that's a player issue.
    I tank about 60% in the game to 40% dps. I do my best to keep bosses postioned properly. In some of these cases it is not even positioning for positionals. When we all have to run from some big AOE or some mechanic where we can't stand in the middle the Tank (WAR in each case) simply takes the damage and never moves. You have the rest of the party and even the offtank in most cases in a corner while the WAR wails on a boss standing in AOEs and whatever else. It is inconsiderate imo. Basically they slow down DPS uptime because they can't die.

    Healer have much more hard time than tanks because they have something to manage.. tanks don't

    That still doesn't make it cool in my opinion. It's still a team but I guess my teamwork mentality is lame.

    There's someone who made a topic that ask the question "what to manage as a Tank", people here provide a lot of answers to that question, perhaps it could illuminate you.

    In all seriousness, don't listen to Tunda, they're either a troll or a heavily missguided individual.

    Yeah, and they have a few alts to circumvent limitations/blocks.

    Just your typical hyper-active forum troll, sadly.
