So, tanking a outlander dungeon today and my healer starts complaining about my blessings (I’m a pally tank), they complained that I had Kings on my self, then complained that they had Wisdom. They demanded I blessing of sanctuary my self then complained about not having blessing of salvation on them… ok … what? Why would I give you salv? You aren’t and won’t pull aggro, so why not wisdom? Why am I being called a terrible tank bc of this? Also I don’t need sanctuary and prefer kings overall, I hold aggro more than fine, but you come at me with “I have a 70 paladin I know what I’m talking about and you’re garbage at this game” just because I didn’t use the blessings you wanted? I gave them a friendly reminder that I’m a tank, they’re a healer, and not to say healers aren’t important but they are VERY replaceable, where tanks… good luck on that. They kept spamming chat all dungeon so I apologized to my group and left, minutes later they disbanded. Should I just of just put on ignore? Sure, but do I also hope I taught them some sort of lesson? Yes. Did I? Probably not. Hydramyist in Grobbulus, if you read this, ty for the 2 paragraphs you sent me before putting me on ignore.
Inb4 - Why didn’t you just comply.
Nah. I love being given wisdom. A healer that thinks they need salv doesn’t know safe timing. Resto specs generally have threat lowering talents as well.
Funny enough, I recently had a dps threaten to kick me from the group because I changed his kings to salv after he was aggroing off the bear every pull. Like, you will get what I deem best for the situation unless you have a valid argument otherwise.
It’s just entitlement. And you are correct, you can easily replace them with more agreeable people.
You’re a tank. You have the luxury of picking and choosing almost any group you’d like. Dump those guys and find something better - it’s just a game and people take it way too seriously.
I’ll say that I personally think you took the wrong action here, but it’s not by any means your fault. You had to deal with someone going through an emotional episode. The right move imo would be to not engage them or if it’s overwhelming (subjective), put them on ignore to mute them. It’s TBC classic, the game is easily beatable while playing every class wrong lol. The guy probably needs a reality check, but that’s not your responsibility. Play however you like playing, the game is just not that serious.
Also sidenote: straight up if anyone messages you and then puts you on ignore so you cant respond, you know they know youre right.
That type of behavior is the definition of the word cowardly and you never need to take it seriously. If they put you on ignore, it’s because they are insecure in the content they messaged you. They dont even fully believe in their own words to back them up, why should you.
