    People here seems too forget something really important!

    If DDs die because they stood in stupid - It's the healers fault!
    If a tank dies because of dropped block - It's the healers fault!
    The group whipes because of a mechanic DD or tank has too deal with - It's the healers fault!

    Even when running 1 tank and 3 dds. If we ever whipe, we blame the healer. It's just part of MMOs at this point.

    You play a healer? you take the blame for all evil in the world.

    Same, I had a necro 'tank' with no taunts while doing today's volenfell pledge.
    After having the first boss on me throughout the fight, I asked if the tank's not slotting a taunt.
    He got salty and said we're a bunch of sissies with high cp, while he had only 170. The healer then just left the group.
    I stuck with the group, a cp 300+ healer the other dps had cp 200+, a real tank would definitely help them. Subsequent bosses went the same, aggro on dps, or tank tries to tank and dies, and the dps carries him through.

    I had a fake tank on veteran DLC yesterday. Dude said nothing the entire time and literally ran away from all the bad guys.

    Needless to say we failed at the first boss. I was so pissed.

    You guys are way too forgiving... Last time i had a fake tank i had to carry through vet pledge(at some point i slotted a taunt as a dd), i kicked him. But. But. I waited before last boss. I quickly explained in chat that he is a weak dd that died, while boss agro was not on him even, that queued as a tank, and if there was no strong people in group, noobies would get the *** game experience from people like him. Thats how i persuaded them to kick him before last boss. I think, that as a community, we should do things like that. Be heartless. Be mean. Be just. Don't complain. Teach them a lesson.

    PS, i dont usually have a fake tank, and when i do, it is either me or a friend, and we survive, and slot a taunt. You know. Actually tank.

    People behave strange in pug groups.

    Insults out of nowhere, little cowards who hide from the mobs, heroes who pull each enemy and his goldfish and blame others for their deaths, blablabla ...

    Probably a former WoW player. Sorry but that kind of thing was so common that I stopped pugging randoms in that game... the incompetence, queuing as tank when not a tank, the overblown ego, and the highly defensive ugly ranting blaming the healer. It was like every other run :/

    Its awesome initiating a vote to kick on a person like thst and the other two members of the group are just waiting to click yes.

    If someone isn't fulfilling their role, at least to a reasonable degree, vote to kick 100% of the time.

    Imo, it is never the healers fault if a tank dies in a 4 man dungeon. They should be capable of surviving with no healer. Don’t get me wrong, I prefer a healer, but if I die it’s my own dang fault.

    I've been going over the whole pelican thing all weekend, trying to fathom what he meant. All I came up with is that a pelican has a large beak... Maybe he was saying you have a big mouth - - you're mouthy, complaining too much(?) it's a stretch, but i can't make/force any more sense from it.

    Yeah, been with an idiot like that once with my healer toon. Try to kick but of course he have friend so it doesn't go through. Then he start trash talking like healer is useless and how he is the only one pulling the group with his marvelous dps. Kind of strange consider he was dead during boss fight most of the time.
    I should known better and leave but well, I was stupid back then as well.
    The sad part is he proudly post the group dps after nBlackheart final boss, boosting about his supreme dps skill..... It was 16k and my healer toon was doing 5k, which involve me getting turn into a skeleton.
