There Should be Requirements For New Players Before Tanking A Dungeon

Weird take.

GD complains about tank shortage.

You get exp for killing stuff and you said you were leveling

How else are they going to learn how to tank, exactly? If you don’t like how someone else tanks, you can always create a premade with a preferred tank, or tank yourself.

And people wonder why there are no tanks left. This guy is the reason why.

Found the problem. New tanks can easily do classic/bc/wrath dungeons. But something with the BFA dungeons - they seem a bit harder/over tuned or something. Any time I got into one with Chromie time, it ended terribly. So I recommend avoiding them altogether. When I want to level fast, I stuck with Classic/BC and Wrath and it’s usually smooth sailing.

Ummm, how about. No.
As Dr. Zoiberg would say “This is bad, and you should feel bad.”

I feel there was likely a way to better engage with said newer player, and you didn’t know how to or didn’t attempt to. It really all sounds like a lack of communication

And this is why i went dps, instead of learning how to heal (and tank i guess tho my class cant do it). Already stressful enough as it is with how fast people run in dungeons, hearing others / stories like this make me terrified to do it.

Not max level? :white_check_mark:
0 posts? :white_check_mark:
Not a tanking class? :white_check_mark:

Yep it’s a rare breed of Gnome Troll. Rumor has it they only come out once in a fortnight to post on the forums then disappear to thier home under a bridge once the light of day comes out. Just ignore it and it will go away.

Healing isn’t as hard as you may think, especially if you use a good add-on. I actually find it fun.

It’s LFD. If ya don’t like your group, find a new one. It will fill your spot in the old group automatically, and find you a new group automatically. Not knowing the dungeon is excusable. OP’s nonsense is not.

Did you consider… umm… helping them?

I prefer the old way of playing dungeons. Every kill gave you reputation, and until you were exalted you basically killed everything you could. By the time you were exalted you had learned the dungeons well enough, and speed clears were something you could do.

it’s only an issue while leveling in queued content.
you whining about it kinda points to the fact that you’re new as well so you should be more understanding :slight_smile:

when youre done leveling (which only takes about 2-3 days) it becomes a non-issue real fast.

You guys understand he hasn’t posted since right?

Dance puppets dance

yeah hes trolling , i saw his other posts and it all became clear :slight_smile:

Yeah sorry, if you can’t handle a new person trying to learn to tank then leave the run yourself.

Well, there are always the possible alt sock puppets.
But you’re right that the thread is just trolling.

At what point and time is a player not considered new?
