Hmmmm it’s almost as if Tank wasn’t that popular to begin with. Maybe it wasn’t a good idea to nerf them in order to make healers happy.

Not the reason.
we just don’t like the abuse so we all just tank for friends and guild mates. To hell with the queues

Tanks have always been underplayed though

makes sense. you do less damage and have more responsibilities for the same type of rewards, takes a special type of person to enjoy that.

This is how LFD has been since it was introduced in Wrath.

I’d tank, but you know why I don’t?
Because I enjoy PvP, and tanks aren’t nearly as useful there. They’re pretty much only good for defending bases and running flags.
Most players will probably laugh you out of the battleground for trying to ‘tank’ in there, so I just dropped it.
PvE alone isn’t really my thing.
On my healers, I’d happily both PvP and PvE.

Tanks have always been in short supply and high demand. I’ve taken up tanking this expansion for the first time ever as a main role and I gotta say, tanking for anyone not in my immediate friend circle has been exhausting.
You’re either not fast enough for someone or too fast for someone else. Someone doesn’t like your route or your pulls and makes sure you know about it.
The community fuels the lack of tanks by being generally toxic toward the role, whether directly or indirectly.

Take a look how people act in leveling dungeons and normal dungeons, speed running ahead of the tank and if the tank complains they reply “lol it’s a normal who cares.”
Well, they tank probably cared as he’s trying to learn how to tank. Now he can’t learn how to tank and if he’s overwhelmed in a normal he has no hope of a heroic or mythic.

I look forwards to 3 hours from now when it flips to needing more healers

I was waiting in Queue for 11 minutes as a tank, with Tank Priority queue.
I routinely am waiting several minutes as a tank in queue.
Last I remember, tank queues were LITERALLY INSTANT. Dead game. No one is playing TWW apparently.

Exactly, I play every tank class but when I hop on a healer or dps alt I feel sooooo bad for the pug tanks.
Other dps are pulling 4 packs all at once, but not bothering to interrupt or grip anything so you have 5 casters all over the place and mobs the tank can’t get aggro on.

How about we remove tanks from the game instead of bringing them back as literal gods.
Tanks don’t want to die in a game where death is a failure condition, and if left alive, they will eventually win barring extenuating circumstances.

That’s a bad take, it’s trying to tank where tanks aren’t needed.
So people won’t play as if they are needed.
I still queue instantly as tank, always have.
Weird you’re waiting.

They don’t really need tanks for raids.

You want me to tank?
Okay.
Stop pulling for me unless I ask for it.

You get so much gear from delves, there is barely any need to run m0.

what are you taking about? people were saying there is no wait time for anything and that’s why it was ok with leaving after the first boss didnt drop the item the tank wanted /s
It’s so sad, but so true.
You can either never pull enough or fast enough… or you are too fast.
Like what are we supposed to do with this? lol
