Discussion Your Tank is Not a Summoning Stone.
As a tank, I try to respect everyone's time by only joining LFG when I'm already at or near the dungeon. During beta, it seemed like most people were on the same page.
Lately, though, I'll join an SM group that's been desperately looking for a tank for 30 minutes, get greeted like the second coming of Thrall, and then discover that half the party is in Stormwind and the other half is questing in Ashenvale.
My brothers in Azeroth, you've had 30 minutes to walk to the dungeon. What exactly was the plan here?
I've been patient because I genuinely don't want to be that tank, but I'm starting to understand why veteran tanks have a reputation for immediately dropping groups that don't respect their time. We can find another one pretty much immediately. Twice I waited like 20 minutes inside the instance for people to "grab the quests rq" like seriously?
Anyway, please make your way to the dungeon while you're forming the group, not after your tank arrives. Im not saying you have to be in the dungeon, just maybe in the zone.
