I had this long post about why “us”, tanks don’t want to tank heroics in pugs right now and why the queue for heroics is getting ever longer( upwards of 2 hours now).
Instead of the long post I’m going to leave you all with a simple message to mull over
We, the Tanks, are not born with the infinite knowledge of how to perfectly tank everything and are not born with the gear of the gods. Your constant demeaning, insulting and outright aggression of would be Tanks will not create more or better tanks but only less tanks.
Those of us who will survive this crucible of hatred you are putting us through will emerge as your new Gods and Overlords. And we shall be as cruel as and as merciless as you have made us. You shall kiss our feet, speak only when allowed to and above all, obey our every command to the letter, lest you shall be sent to the voids of the groupless, there to wait for as long as your gods please.
Be warned that unless you change your ways henceforth, the next two-year will be a living hell for you.

PS: If this doesn’t apply to you and are one of the few kind and good souls to Tanks then I love you more than you can know.
Not to mention it’s difficult to learn the heroics and help others learn and gear if the newly elitist healers won’t stay in group when you announce you have not done the instance in heroic mode.
Word. The only new dungeons I tank right now are with my guild. I’m not up to facing the abuse at the moment, not when no one has any idea what’s going on and I’m not looking forward to being blamed for every single bad thing that happens. Kitty form for me until I learn the instances.
I am pretty low level so I don’t get to do the new heroics, but there are plenty of clowns at lower levels that hate on the tanks too. I have ran into a few of these folks, but on the other hand I have had a couple people plead for me to stay in the group. Let’s all start spamming the vote to kick button on the jerks, and help out the nice ones. We’ll start a revolution!

My guild is blessed with 5 able tanks, 2 able healers, and 4 able dps, so our tanks pug all the time ><
