I’m leveling my prot pally in normal pugs, and haven’t had any problems. They’ve all waited for me to pull, and I haven’t been kicked. Seems to me all this hysteria about how bad pug tanking is is overblown.
It gets worse in M0 because you have bads flocking there for trinkets.
I timed a +2, but all the M0s I attempt have been disasters.
I just adjust on the fly.
I tell the group to let me know.
It’s eeally just if the healer can handle it. They set the pace if someone is a good tank.
It just undermines someone’s complaint when they throw insults about artifical numbers.

i mean yeah u wont get to the groups that pull for u if u do one dungeon a week i guess
I’ve seen people try it in M+ from time to time. Watching someone tank their own key because they really wanted that degree from the prestigious Leeroy Jenkins Academy for Intellectually Challenged Gamers is a treat.

It has nothing to do with autism, it’s ego and selfishness. FOH with the ableist bs, dbag behavior isn’t exclusive to people with mental health issues, and autism and ADHD usually are accompanied by strong principles and senses of fairness, so you’re likely actually just experiencing immature and selfish neurotypicals, who are also the majority demographic. Every post airing a legitimate grievance has one of these ‘it’s autism’ comments and yall need to just stop.

I just picked up the weekly to do the heroic dungeons and both tank and healer rolls have CTA bags for them.
I didn’t bother queueing for them.
The introduction to tanking and healing is rough.
Then you get into it and then cop a nerf to trinket power (yes sorry still salty abt it) . Surprise pikachu face when already scarce roles become more scarce

At this point there’s probably a lot of DPS than can solo heroics.
They could scale everyone’s gear down so it’s as challenging as m+, but I suspect for the majority of players it’s a means to an end for something and they want it done as fast as possible.
Thats real tough bud.
Tanking is okay if people who pull know how to LoS(Line of sight) and actually group stuff up on you. Most people who pull run around like chickens with their head cut off and expect you to pick it up. Naw. I wont be doing that.

Wait, hold on a second, you didn’t even make it past normal dungeons? They’re just loot pinatas for people power leveling, you will not get that experience until way later. I was like yeah it can suck then I read vote to kick, ok definitely not content a tank is needed for. Like if how people play bothers you level in follower dungeons. When you get to m0 they’ll settle down.
I’m sorry you feel bad, but it’s like quitting a job before the orientation.
When dps pull for me it’s usually whatever, but when they’re being extra about it I let them die.
If you want to tank so bad queue up as one

Thanks for trying. I always appreciate the tanks and healers willing to take me through the instances to get it done.
I don’t pull intentionally or stand in fire and try to interrupt. I’m just old and bad and try to stay in my lane.

think you should try a few more times
just happen to get a bad draw there
Just wait, it will start… you will start getting kicked constantly as a tank… Blizzard has given the power of deserter to the edge lords… We are going to start seeing less and less tanks until they fix this… its awful…
I mean who cares? Just let them pull and die if it comes to that. Let them clear the dungeon for you and get the gear. The only reason they are doing that is because you aren’t in high enough content where they are 1 shot for doing that.
The fact that people adopt that kind of mentality of “it’s heroics and timewalking and they die fast anyways so it doesn’t hurt” is what’s wrong with alot of this foolishness. Please note I’m not bashing you with that but making the generalized statement.
One of the chief problems is that you get certain DPS that think “it’s easy so I’m going to make things go faster” and they start pulling for the tank. They might be able to get away with it in heroics and timewalking, but then they try that crap in mythic and wonder why they have issues and can’t find tanks. To borrow from a D&D term, anytime I run into Chain-Pulling Hobos as a tank I’ll give them a chance to knock it off. Otherwise I can just go frost and we see how far we get. If we clear it even faster, then cool. If we get stomped and they whine, then I remind that they wanted it that way. If they want to rage and kick me, then they’re just proving my point and I will make fun of them for all eternity. Then while I wait out the kick penalty I can watch an episode of a show, work on my professions or so on. Then I can insta queue back into stuff. Either way I win.

is this where you were skill capped? queuable Heroics? No offense, but I don’t think your role matters much in there.
Did you check the io score of the players in random queue?
