I’ll tell you why the tanks left.
- You were doing less damage than them, despite outgearing them, and the run was like pulling teeth.
- You invited someone who doesn’t share a common language as an important role, who was going to make the M+ fail anyway. Like a warlock in 460 gear who was doing 1.2k DPS total. The entire dungeon.
- You’re pulling extra on bolstering grievous and now he’s having to tank the equivalent of raid bosses and taking 500k damage a shot every other pull (yes, we got that high of damage from trash).
- You are healing monsters by polymorphing them.
- You do not focus the marked target.
- You ignore mechanics and the tank is the last one standing to finish off the boss in a clench.
- You neglected to tell your tank you were new on the last point and didn’t ask before you got one-shotted.
- When the tank explains the mechanics to you, you still ignore them.

This is why raider IO needs to show us how many times a player quits|leaves the run so we can stop inviting bads just like low IO scores in high keys applications.

Raider Io helped me a bunch to not have those things happening to be honest.

Another sob story from a tank who couldn’t handle his role

You can pull big on Bolstering if you kill mobs at the same time, but in pugs I agree that level of coordination just isn’t there and people tend to outright forget about affixes or simply do not care.
So
TLDR
Tank couldn’t do their job and left due to shame.

Tank isn’t your baby-sitter. They have one role, hold aggro.

Except when the tank is alone and solos a boss - because the druid did not cleanse the group. And the 460 warlock was doing 1.2k DPS. For five pulls of a final boss. One of my many, many harrowing fun times today.

That popcorn seems rather tasty.

This is why Raider IO needs to show the conditions of the group the person left.
You know. Like a frost mage who outgeared the tank doing less damage than the tank. And standing in fire.

Well, I know it was stressful, but at least it makes a good story. I find that the bad things in life at least make good stories, lol.

Methinks someone has a superiority complex

Superiority complex means you think you’re better than someone.
Getting tired of a group that, I kid you not, died 15 times to FLESHCARVING despite having that creature marked and told not to kill Adds or bad times will happen… yeah. Not superiority. It’s jaw-dropping.
15 deaths. To a single trash mob. In a +5. None of them even -attempted- to get in the rune.

Mythic problems. Tanks dip all the time in LFR too, mostly for similar reasons. I’m not sure how they’d design a system that isn’t unfair to someone, because one dps can’t really carry a group so even if I’m doing my job but others are sucking, I get stuck with a lame group and no tank. Or just game over if you’re on a timer.
Either way, hypothetically, I did nothing wrong, yet the person had every right to leave. Every once in awhile a group is just a dud. Such is WoW.

Had more fails than successes. Just lost about 5 hours of my life today. And, no, you can’t judge based off someone’s gear. Even if it’s higher than WQ rating.
And these groups managed to make +5s like pulling teeth when I can do up to, maybe 8s or 9s relatively easy. Around the ilevel 450 range. In higher keys, people seem less likely, to you know, ignore affixes.
Keeping around that range until I have optimized gear for moving up (BiS stats). I don’t mind side-grades as long as they make things better.
