On 1-85 Melee abuse the Role as Tank... (Dungeon-Finder)

Trying to level a Tank (because I enjoy it) and I am very fast tanking, like… idk… I pull 2-4 groups together all the time… like it’s already exhausting fast… but nope – why should you let the Tank play his Roll… I always have DPS & healers who even run past me and pull even more - not even topping ME in DPS… nope! they just pull more so (I?) can kill them with my active DPS…

Often they even rush into the first mob group before I didn’t even picked up any quest…

It’s a very stupid Gameplay and I hate it… wish they could be punished for it.

Don’t get me wrong… I also dislike slow Tanks… but please… I have about 15 Tanks level’d since TBC Classic.. and i’m anything but slow… but this constant “we need to be even faster than fast” is super, super annyoing and I don’t know how to deal with it but to just log off and protect myself.

I don’t understand why those backseat gamers don’t wanna play tank when they pull all the time? Oh wait, yeah - the responsbillity to actually tank if someone is in danger… they don’t wanna do that no… better back seat, act like a tank but blame the real one if there is trouble.

Just exhausting.

I most likely go AFK until they kick me if this happens or log out instant & play the Dungeon Solo after this.

How you deal with it? We should have a better Community who actually shows those players their wrong behaviour.

I was also very questioning about this behaviour when leveling my brewmaster in pre-patch. Tank specs or wannabe tanks queueing as DPS, pretenting to be the tanks and just end up griefing the run. Like if you want to tank, just queue as tank and get instant queue instead of wasting time in a DPS queue, and make the run take longer, it makes no sense.

Also had a healer the other day pull 3-4 extra packs on his own, died and said nothing. Someone else asked what he was doing and he replied “no one took aggro”. These players are so ignorant and out of touch they can’t even admit their own faults, it’s always something or someone else that got them killed, they’re flawless god gamers.

I have such guys even in Celestial heroics at level 90. My solution let em tank, while I save only other dps and healer. Celestial buff at lvl 90 and the heirlooms on low levels give me enought dps to finish dungeon only with healer by my side, so if 1 or 2 dps have a deathwish I do not stop them.

Well u can just ignore them as tank, like who cares if someone else also tanking. Ive got used to it and not making big deal form that. Just do ur role and watch for heal not fall 2 much behind.
