As a tank, when your clear at the outset, eg i have a macro saying I’ll pull as fast as I’m comfy until the healer say go harder.
But when DPS are so hard up and can’t wait, and kicks me as a tank cause i took too long to pull the next pack, what does that achieve? youi have to wait for a new tank, and I continue about my day (be it leveling, rep farming, or mat farming) the only people you’re harming is the people in the group and yourself. cause 90% of the time, you’ll wait longer for a tank than if you sucked up your pride and slowed down a little.

Internet rabies is real.
Just think about how people drive.
Then imagine them in a video game with the same level of awareness/attitude, but almost no consequences.
I do not do anything with strangers, much less play video games.

This would make me intentionally pull more as a Healer lmao.

It removes the slow tank from the group. And with the healer still in the group the refill queue is pretty short.

if you said to me go harder, I would. but if you start pulling and die, don’t blame me

But with the limited amount of tanks that are available, it removes 2 from the queue pool which makes it take longer for everybody.
It really is a silly thing to do unless the tank is going excessively slow. There has to be a moderate amount of tolerance for different playstyles or players are just making their own experience worse.

so If i’m pulling enough to keep the dungeon running at a good pace, and the healer is keeping up and only being strained here and there, but the DPS are saying GO GO GO when the healer is only just keeping up, am i a slow tank?

Yes but it’s good for me now. So you replace them.
Or you could just tell the tank to pull more like they explicitly stated.
Or you could just ask the tank to pull more like they explicitly stated.
It’s like you intentionally want to ruin someone’s day even though they communicated with you ahead of time. Naw, not cool. I hope karma catches up.

If you’re being kicked from group so consistently while you’re tanking to the point where you make a macro for the start of a dungeon, I would wager a guess that you’re doing something players do not like.

Is this lowbie/trivial content like Normals/Heroics or TW? If it is then yeah, PUGs expect the giant giga-pulls, people only do that content for weekly quests or leveling alts so going as fast as possible is the meta strategy

It’s sad because they can. Because we (The collective we) allow them to. Barely anyone stands against them so what’s to say their lack of desire to cooperate with a worse player is a problem?
It is. We only need to be more vocal about it.

actually the opposite. they they go “BORED” or "
GO GO GO" a say “ok then, ready?” and wait for a response for them to say yes, then i pull, and as expected we wipe, with me being the last standing, (usually the healer dies earlier) then the DPS gets shirty saying I’m a bad tank cause i gave them what they wanted. I’ve even had numerous runs where the DPS has pulled extra mobs that are no where near the pack we’re fighting.

You know it’s always funny to read this stuff but it does suck when it happens to you. I mean I suck as a healer and am surprised I haven’t been kicked a lot, but I do it at times cause someone has to fart on people to keep their hitpoints up!
you’re probably not as bad as you think, then again no one kicks a healer
