[wow]Are you that tank?

[thefunk]

you know, like the ones you see in all those movies, to incite a tear in all the patriotic hearts.
The movie independence day comes to mind, but there are many others.

nevermind, the story was told in such a way that i felt there would have the toons do a /salute to that marine tank.

Talking about independence day, he was better in spaceballs

lol can't argue with that.

Thread officially derailed. Independence day is awesome!!

No way I'm that tank. I'm geared and skilled, but with around 300 random cata heroics under my belt, just way too many people who didn't spend any time learning in normal dungeons or in the previous 84 levels about how to play. I just sigh to myself, don't bother typing anything and try to get the heroic done as quickly and smoothly as possible. Although I never leave if people suck, I've given up trying to help them.

Sounds like just a story unfortunately.

And I can't help but wonder what his point really was. It seems as if he wants to make the point that this guy was a Grade-A 100% Swell Guy. I am assuming that he wants to imply that he is also being a great role model; if you want to be a Grade-A 100% Swell Guy, just be like this guy-- spend a large amount of your precious free time walking a bunch of under-geared and potentially brain-dead players through content that they aren't prepared for!

Entitlement syndrome- it's what's for breakfast!

Well the point obviously is that,regardless of how good people are, they're likely to get better results if they encourage and provide others with constructive feedback than if they keep degrading them .. It's a matter of attitude and respect.

But where is the respect for the tank? You are awful at CC, you do miserable dps, you can't seem to understand that if you have 0 mana after the first 12 seconds of a boss fight you can't keep us alive. You stand in fire when it is obvious that fire = bad.
Even Donald learned that.

Why is it I have to sacrifice any portion of my life because you are a complete slug? You had 84 other levels as someone above said to figure out wtf to do. In a hero you had most likely a FEW dungeons to figure out how not to be awful, or to acknowledge you are awful in order to seek help. 90% of people I have ever given POLITE and Contstructive critisim to have always responded with either doing the exact same thing before I told them or making matters worse (running into boss for party wipe repeatedly or SHEEP MOON must read on their end, sheep skull and blast the bejesus out of moon so no cc will work)

Why am I responsible for being even moderately polite when you waste my time, cause me grief or interrupt any part of my enjoyment of the game because you are to brain dead, inept, or just plain lazy to learn that fire = bad, do not break cc EVERY SINGLE PULL etc. You'll get respect when you can actually show you have a CHANCE of not being a complete useless dimwitted slug. Don't do 3.5K dps in a hero, don't attack the sheep repeatedly and then seriously say, WTF MAGE DPS!1!1!!!, don't afk for 15 minutes at start of dungeon in order to steal loot. The game is simple, and if you are having trouble Google is even more simple. I am not your personal Intraweb Google service. There is no reason I should have to teach these people how not to stand in bad things, or push the correct 4 buttons for their class.

Well I have to agree that not everyone will take advices and try to improve their game-play but honestly how often does depreciating and insulting others improve the situation ? Lose your temper and you're likely to make things worse and waste even more of your precious time. Explain to people what they did wrong or at least stay respectful and maybe someone will learn.

If your expectations are way higher than what you're usually getting from random people then stick with friends only or run x5 characters :P

Pretty much agree in every single way. Heroics are not for learning in, they are for the learned.

Oh, and even with all this, I still managed to pug all of Glory of the Cataclysm Hero somehow lol. /brag end

Some people actually like to help others. Maybe it's what this tank *likes* to do.. Fun is not the same for everyone.
I'm usually a healer when solo play, and I actually prefer when groups have some difficulties. Makes my job so much more interesting.
