The problem: With nothing better to do on a Tuesday afternoon, I decided to tank some randoms. PoS was assigned to me, which is very easy. The first boss has a bunch of adds that are usually dps'd down right away upon pulling. I pulled, lagged a whole bunch, and when the packets of information came through, I had found that I had nearly 15 stacks of the frost debuff...along with all the adds attacking me. I tanked the boss and spread my diseased to said adds, and once the boss was down a few adds were still alive. I must have been the only one to attack them, even though my group consisted of a rogue, a shaman, and a hunter. All of these classes have good aoe so there was no reason why the adds should have been alive. Anyways, I said in party chat, "Don't bother killing the wrathbones" which the shaman replied, "don't want to." That made me chuckle, a dps not wanting to kill things. Two can play that game. This same shaman, named Nêmô by the way, decided that he would be smart and ride his Celestial Steed through the pathway before the second boss...right into the pack of geists, whilst I lagged behind watching. His pet elemental tanked them all for a while while I studied what he was doing, but then that died and all threat went to the shaman, killing him. Not wanting the rest of the group to pay for Nêmô's stupidity, I dropped a D&D, sparing everyone from death. Evidently the shaman didn't enjoy dying, as he asked why I had just stood there. I replied, "Didn't want to." If he didn't want to do his job and dps, why should I have to do my job and tank, especially when he thinks that he can do it. I explained this to him, just in time for me to get kicked, mid-pull. But that's fine, they could continue without a tank.
The solution: Do your job and I will do mine, Nêmô. Don't be an idiot and run into a group of mobs on your Algalonesque horsey and think that I will spare you your life when I already think that you are an idiot. I bid you good luck in your WoW ventures.
