Stop sending 810+ ppl to DLC dungeon with a 300 CP guys. Experienced player is annoyed by carrying a new players. New players need a space to make mistakes without toxic behavior from their group members.
CP is not a perfect counter to measure a player experience, but it is better than totally random queue.
I cant choose, how i want to run dungeon (3dds, or 2dds + 1heal). Really? This tool a sucks. I cant control CP's of my group members?
Recruitment of your group - is a totally social aspect of the game. But why I should do it from zone chat, and not from User Interface Tool?
high CP - is not a guarantee of good player, that's right. But you have a better probability to find a competent player with high CP, rather than any level CP. And the better probability is better than total random. But we dont have even this in dungeon finder.CP level means nothing..
the other day ive been running vet spindleclutch 1 on my tank, wearing alkosh
my random group pulled impressive 18k of dps, including my own, after buffing and debuffing.
when i asked them what the problem with the dps would be, they didnt reply.
then i told them "no answer = no tank".
i got instantly votekicked
guess i was lucky

There is nothing wrong with tank giving minimum effort. There is everything wrong with sub 10k potato dps demand tank to do dmg.
The tank was hitting a taunt only from his comments. I think any reasonable dps is allowed to want him to consider at least hitting low slash and maybe another DOT. This tank was obnoxious and the dps weren't good at the game. I'd hardly call the dps "toxic potatoes" after reading the whole thread. But I might use that term for the tank.
Lol, I tanked vcr hm vss hm, so pretty sure i am not a potato, and i did those with < 3k dps.

Means, while it is very possible to overheal or easy tank you cant over Dps.

Technically you can. It's the reason people are skipping over mechanics, and consequently the reason people can't handle the mechanics when they can't "over DPS" them.

So what you're saying is that because you've done some of the harder content in game, you're now entitled to do the bare minimum in other dungeon content yet expect more from the rest of your group?
I am entitled to do bare minimum in normal dungeon as a tank regardless of what i cleared.
There are more than enough dps and nowhere near enough tanks.
If anyone should be picky about teammate's performance, it should be the tank.

Wait a moment here. If you have tanked vCR +3 and vSS HM, why are you even concerned about a random about some punks in a random GF group.
This tells me there is more to the story, that there was more to the group chat that is not included in that SS. Seriously, what tank that clears the toughest content in the game cares about the damage a GF group is doing when they can some top dps to group with.
Something here does not pass the smell test.

It seems odd that you suggest you are entitled to do the bare minimum as a tank in normal dungeons then to suggest that you as a tank has more right to be picky about the performance of others. Do you really think you are more important than the others?

Exactly. If someone is that level, allegedly, of endgame, they know better than this. (This is not the first "dungeon ppl are toxic" thread OP has made lol.) And would have access to 133t guildies or friends to run dungeons with. Most endgamers honestly get to where they don't run dungeons much. It's certainly not for the xp, and you're likely to have multiples of every monster set that isn't garbage. The player wouldn't need keys, and that's a terrible way to get transmute crystals, so idk lol.
Frankly about the only reason I run dungeons is if a guildie needs help getting a helm or a clear, if there's an achievement I want/need, doing a cheap daily rando leveling up a new sub-50 toon, or like for events maybe a daily FG1. Unsurprisingly, the dps of my storage toons or rp themed characters is very, very poor lol. I know better than to take them into tough content haha.
I once sat through 10+ minutes of watching a tank solo veteran tempest island when the rest of us wiped (I was on healz; my fault, yes yes). Pretty sure his dps was around 3-4k but it didn't matter - he carried us and we all finished the content. Nobody was upset about it (even the tank), we were all having a good time.
FWIW, the tank was running a Warden with lots of tree spamming.

Yeah I've had to do that many times on my tank.
That's one of the reasons I like to queue up as tank in the first place. Because they can often comfortably finish off a boss if the group wipes, which increases my chances for success when using the activity finder.
Also: I should point out it's not necessarily your fault on that fight if everyone else died (except the tank) just because you were the healer. If the DPS weren't moving into close proximity of the boss after her AoE attack and were getting killed by her charge attack as a result, then that was on them and not you. Healers often assume the blame for wipes when it's actually not their fault.

In this case I was rusty on the mechanic and the dps were low-CP so this was their first vet run. The last boss randomly targets a player and only the tank can survive without blocking. I missed my block and as soon as I went down the two dps immediately fell. He couldn't get the rez because of the blowing winds kept interrupting him. So he just took the initiative and spammed puncture until the boss went down. Honestly, it was the first time I saw a tank burn down a boss. The usual procedure is to declare a wipe followed by all the rage-quits.
