I have a real question. Why is that when anyone thats not the tank gets aggro they prefer to run around like a chicken with its head cut off rather than run it to the tank so they can taunt it off? Mobs tend to run just about that same speed as the players but yet they decide to run around to a early grave.

They’re just bad players, not much else to be said about this

I like to run away from the group into another pack then feign death and let it be everyone else’s problem.

Because they don’t understand that tanks have a CD on their taunts and our ranged threat generation, aside from warrior and paladin, are lacking.
It’s the bad player thing.
Ah, you have stumbled upon one of the many mysterious truths of life. As birds will swim, cats will bark, squishies will panic.

They think they take less damage when they run away from the group
+1 to the bad player thing

Cowards gonna cower. Standing off at max range is the first hint that they’re gonna do this.
The solution is to zoom your camera in to the point you can only see a 20yd radius; let them cease to exist naturally and without troubling yourself.
They panic, and try to kite in that panic.
Eh, depends.
If we’re in higher end content and the tank loses threat on something in a pack, I’ll ping it and if I’m in voice tell them, and the problem should resolve soon enough for me to be okay.
I’ve been doing a lot of timewalking this week though and a lot of leveling tanks just aren’t very good or very quick to react to things. If I have aggro on a third of the mobs in the pull and I’ve already used my defensives and they still haven’t got aggro back, I’m probably going to start kiting instead rather than facetanking to death.
Just fyi, melee dps generates way more aggro than range dps. Also, sometimes even after giving the tank a few seconds to generate aggro, they fail to hold it… This has happened to me even after literally staying still for 5 seconds doing nothing, yep it does happen that some tanks are good enough as well.
Hush, I’m kiting, at 14% speed they aren’t catching me.
