It can be a brutal system at times but it’s for the best.

I can’t think of a single time a tank tried to solo in a LFG I was in that didn’t end up killing at least one person in the party due to unavoidable AOE and/or healing aggro.

Some think facepulling generate threat.
Some don’t know what spells mobs cast, like party wide AOE that they can and will cast even if you run 200 yds past them.
Many think they are some MDI star and try to do all the skips, without communicating that to the party. They are in fact not MDI pros.

Tanks who queue for group content and then act like they are alone are more often than not some of the most clueless players in the game.
Play with the group or go form a premade with your other wannabe elitist buddies.
The game really doesn’t need more people showing off why people think the WoW community sucks.

My brother served in reserves for 25+ years. Much respect if you’re in the military. <3

Damn, I didn’t realize Brewa was Tewa. But it all makes sense now!

Despite glaring issues with your gameplay, you blame the tank. With every wrong move that you make, you become more enraged with the group that wishes you would just contribute a little bit of dps before you stand in front of the boss again.

These traits carry over into everything you do. If you’re unable to see your own faults, and blame others instead, then you will have a very difficult time growing as a person. Once you are able to see a reasonable reflection of who you are and how you actually perform, your options in life become limitless.

I mean, they might just be there for a quest? Several callings can be done via dungeons, and time walking has the weekly quest/chance at timereaver. There’s legitimate reasons for a geared player to be in those places. And if they’re there, why should they go slower than their gear allows them? Like, yeah, if they pull half the dungeon and wipe over and over because the rest of the group isn’t prepared for/capable of that pace then that’s one thing, but if they do that and survive, what’s the harm?

all of this. I have 203 ilvl on my tanks but I never go into regs thinking Oh Im a God, Im gonna dominate this ish!
On my paladin Im thinking, man Ive got to get better at the dungeon dance, on my bear Im thinking I have to learn all of this on a diff version of tank.

I could skip all of the above and just move on as a healer, I have a resto shaman and a holy priest but I want to learn how to do the things on my tanks too. My favorites are rshaman and prot pally. But I think I just need more experience as guardian and holy. Also if im tank or healing and you die, its because you pulled aggro and I havent updated my tankplates. Or I was focusing on keeping the tank whos at 20% health boosted up.

the most frustrating thing is when Im popping off heal back to back and a dps wants to say, heals, stop being AFK! Like no dude, you were one shot by a boss mechanic… but a brave *ish dps only attacks when they have buds in their party who will not hesitate but to kick you for nonsense.

If they cant pass the VTK they move on to baiting you in chat to get you to act crazy enough for everyone else to VTK.

You wanted LFG. This is what you get.

This has legit been a thing for a long time.
Even when I out gear the dungeons and could technically solo it, I still feel out what the group is capable of and set the pace for them.
If things can die a little quicker by letting them work with me, then it saves some time on getting that gold and runes at the end.
With that said, I wish they would allow solo que for some of this stuff. There is often not a need for a 5 man group to knock out a normal dungeon for a covenant calling. Doing it in lfd is just a little boost to the people leveling through dungeons imo. The number of times I’ve been asked if I can reque with a group to speed up their leveling process far outweighs any complaints about being over geared. :woman_shrugging:

Oh yes of course, I do that as heals too sometimes. This makes sense.

Seriously i’d rather tank for NPCs than the pug at RDF.

It’s not to prove anything. It’s to get the free Veiled Augment Runes.

I’m not seeing what the issue is here.

If the tank is easily able to solo the entire instance by pulling everything at once, then what exactly is wrong with the tank pulling everything at once? The run is faster and there is no chance of failure.

I especially don’t get this point. If the DPS are struggling to stay alive, then it’s because they’re failing mechanics (which would have made the healer struggle even if moving at a normal pace), or they were impatient and decided to attack the mobs while the tank was gathering everything instead of waiting until everything was stacked on the boss. Not seeing how either of those issues are the tank’s fault and not entirely the fault of the DPS.
