    it happens rarely since i do most dungeons as tank anyway. but if i have a tank in my group who doesnt want to tank im gonna kick him out of the group.
    and since im not the one pulling myself (i never do as non tank) there is always another person who will agree with the kick. so the kick will always go through.

Seems to me you want to make some statement about how it's only the tanks job to pull more then it actually being the case in reality.

    For someone who likes to Insult people based of their characters in game while also pretending to be some sort of victim because people pull ahead of you... I'm starting to think maybe your the toxic one with "bad etiquette"
    be carefull or you hurt their main character ego that hied a less than mediocore tank player (even then you should have no issues tanking in this game)

    ^ This. Two wrongs don’t make a right, and tanking isn’t some morality play where you get to hand out life lessons. It’s a role in a dungeon run.

    Pulling ahead isn’t the end of the world for any competent tank — annoying? Sure. Worth wasting everyone’s time over? Not really. If you can grab it and keep things moving, that’s the bigger flex than standing back to “make a point.”

    At some stage, you’ve got to decide whether you’re tanking the dungeon… or just tanking your own ego.

    Definitely too hard — but hey, at least the YPYT morons have mastered the art of being insufferable.

    I never said I don't try to take the aggro. I just said it's not my fault if I'm coincidentally too late to stop a terrible fate.

    Well.... actually, I guess I answered my own question. Nevermind.

    Sometimes a lil bit of cringe is necessary. Everybody's been cringe.

    Let that sink in while a GM throws them in the time-out chair in GM jail.
    Your first problem is not having a point in time to reference an alleged incident ever happening. For all you can confirm, I have been speaking hypothetically the entire time. That's why I can be smug about it and you can pretend to maintain a moral high ground to justify Ad Hominem attacking others. This isn't some kind of goofy edgy 4D chess big brain play here at all. Discover Occam's Razor.

    You're just scratching the surface of something about making assumptions. It's 100% "sometimes I can't grab everything in time".

    Wink wonk.

    If the tank isn't pulling more, there's a reason for it. The correct solution is asking them why to resolve that, instead of potentially catching 5 casts of Unfinal Sting trying to bring everything into the AOE blender because..... what happened again? Oh right. You made an assumption.

    So the defense is “it was all hypothetical” — convenient. Nothing like retroactively slapping a thought-experiment label on your own words once they get called out. Occam’s Razor here isn’t that you’re playing 4D chess; it’s that you said exactly what you meant, and now you’re backpedaling under the safety of hypotheticals.

    And if pointing that out is “ad hominem,” then maybe the real problem isn’t my moral high ground — Calling out contradictions isn’t ad hominem — it’s just me putting a mirror up. If you don’t like the reflection, that’s not my fallacy.

    “Wink wonk” is cute, but it doesn’t cover the fact that your stance has been moonwalking all over this thread. First, it was “let them die,” then “it’s hypothetical,” now it’s “actually, you’re just assuming.”

    Nobody’s saying tanks never miss a grab — that happens to all of us. The problem was that you dressed it up, letting DPS faceplant, as some enlightened philosophy instead of just being late on a pull. That wasn’t an assumption; again, those were your own words.

    If you’ve finally settled on “sometimes I miss stuff,” then hey — welcome to the same reality the rest of us were already living in. Congrats on catching up, champ.

    Glad we cleared that up. Took a while, but we got there. That’s enough backflips for me. You can keep rewriting your stance; I’ll stick to playing the game.

    This sounds like a whole lot of not my problem. Why does your class say Archer at level 100? Can we talk about that?

    I really do not mind other people pulling for me (well, I dislike it, but well. There are worse things).

    But could we please go back to "I get the adds for the tank, I search tank, I bring adds" and stop the "I get the adds and run in circles"?

    I had that three times today that DPS (or, in one case, a healer) aggroed mobs (yeah, I am working on using Sprint a bit earlier...) and then... ran away.

    When asking if they could please bring the mobs they aggroed to me instead of as far away as possible (friendly. For real. Am good kitty)- I get silence. And the same shit the next pull again...

    I am tired of that...
