Tanking is the most demanding of the roles. I really admire people who do it well. A real tank (taunt, tank build etc) doing it badly is still a tank. A poser DPS queuing as a tank to avoid the longer queue is a fake.
A DPS who queues as a DPS and is just bad at it, low damage, can't seem to focus, is still a DPS. So if a DPS who doesn't do enough damage to meet some players expectations is a fake doesn't that make them faking till they make it? ;-)
Point is bad doesn't equal fake. It takes bad faith and a willing deception to accomplish that.
a dd is a dd even if they only shout at the enemy all the way through, a fake tank and fake healer are a real thing, while fake dd's are not. there are no fake dd's in the game.

Some veteran dungeons have DPS checks, if 2 DDs in team cannot pass this check - they are not DDs by game dev definition.
And in any dungeon, team progresses through as fast as DDs can kill mobs and bosses. Who wants the dungeon run to be slow and painful?

It´s still a dd. Their dps is just not enough to pass those checks.
Same goes for a healer, who doesn´t have enough out put to heal the team. They are still healer´s.
Fake tanks and healer´s are player´s, who main a dd and que as a tank or healer to jump the que, because they can and ZOS allow them.
If its random normal dungeon, its ok, rnd is easy. Now fake dps is a bit of a worry, just hope that the fake tank and healer are dps.

If a dps can't pass a dps check he's a fake.
If a healer can't keep his team alive he's a fake.
If a tank can't keep the aggro and people die because of that he's a fake.
A "fake" tank who can properly hold the boss due to high damage is more of a tank than a "real" tank that doesn't know how to hold aggro.

A fake tank holding aggro is still a fake tank as the fake tank is typical in dd gear. This same fake tank would not be able to hold aggro for a long time in harder content.
A new tank will allway´s have problems in new content, as every other player would - like dd´s and healer´s.
There isn´t any room in ESO for those two support groups to practise and getting better. Only way is joyning trial´s and dungeon groups. And we know how it´s all going in dungeons.
In another MMO I have been playing for a long time. You get into dungeons, trials, raids as part of the main quest and doing worldbosses as part of the job quest´s. Add to that you can take npc´s into dungeons as a tank or healer to polish things.
The gear you use is the role you play. FG1 can be tanked by a healer. It doesn´t make the healer a tank

You only get DLC dungeons if you bought them, or if you have subscription service, both are optional.This is why I do not run random dungeons with random people anymore. Which means because of other players bad behavior other players are avoiding that part of the game. Since some of those players are tanks, this is just adding to the problem.
Now if we could que for just non DLC dungeons and get the crystals, which would be what you are referring to. That might help with the problem for other people, since some of them can be soloed. Currently you also get DLC dungeons, and some do need real tanks so IMO it is not fair to the group for the fake tank to keep running it.
Until there is a way to have a tank check in random dungeons it is just easier for me to view it as if this part of the game does not exist.

Glad you bring up gear.The gear you use is the role you play. FG1 can be tanked by a healer. It doesn´t make the healer a tank
Doesn't that mean that a new player who is running no gear set is a fake no matter what role he plays?
Or that a new tank who doesn't know what sets tanks are supposed to run is absolutely fake tank?
If a player running DPS gear to tank is a fake tank, then a player running bad DD gear or no DD gear at all is a fake DD.
I would say: If a DD can't kill a single Shadow Tormentor in the Gamyne Bandu fight before the pinned player dies (just in case you have a real healer and tank who don't do much damage, and the pinned player is the other DD), then you shouldn't be doing veteran.
That being said, on my real tank (Leeching Plate + Ebon, for pugging, before I had better gear), I've finished Fungal Grotto veteran hard mode in a group where I did literally 60% of the total group damage... at 8k dps. Both DDs were dying all the time and hardly doing any damage, the healer was a real one who basically kept me alive, both our original DDs quit midway through the run and were replaced by replacements that were if anything worse. After five resurrections between them in the final fight against Vila Theran, we left both of them dead and just finished the fight off as the two of us, me slowly whittling her down with my 8k/second plus whatever she was taking from my leeching plate, the healer keeping me alive... And we got the hard mode credit, both for us and completely undeservedly for the two dead DDs :-)
Could have quit long before, carried on through out of sheer bloody-mindedness...

A new player will allway´s collect gear from chets and npc´s they kill. The gear they use is nothing else than dd gear. I haven´t seen any tank or healer gear in the opn world. You get that stuff in dungeons.
Who would run around nacked. Na haha peace out
Well we can see here who the selfish players are.
You complain about low damage but please show me where in the game a noob is supposed to know what their damage is, what buffs are , what buffs/ debuffs are on them, how to interrupt etc. At least the new combat tutorial actually shows some of this unlike the old days.
If you are complaining about 'fake' damage on a player who's toon is under lvl 30 you need to check yourself. Its players like you who put people off content. Beginners need to learn.
you might be talking about 'skyrimists' but I run into thos infrequently. Mainly I get new people left standing while the guy who has been hopping for crit suddenly takes off and tries to speed run the dungeon ithout seeing what the group is expecting.
This is my alt account with no ESO+ so I'm in basegame normal and these inconsiderate people simple try to blow through everything.
I look at my group and see what the composition is, then adjust accordingly.
When I drop in on my 50+ I ash upfront what the plan is. When I drop in on my lowbies who are levelling, I say I'm on a slow lowbie and want to quest. The amount of times there's that one jerk who just runs ahead, training the trash and letting everyone else die is disgusting. I report them for training the trash and running ahead against the will of the other three people in the 4 man.

That's an unfortunate scenario, I agree. A player should always play group-oriented, although you will always find some "specialists" which treat other people like somewhat more evolved npc.
But why not make use of the possibility to kick-vote then?
