This forum, for sure, is full of people who think opinion = fact.
I'm not like that.
I try the original source.
I think you are quoting the wrong person there, credit goes to the OP.
Well thank you ♥ ♥ ♥

That's awful :( This is a MMORPG! Emphasis on the
multiplayer
part!
Without those people, you wouldn't complete the run, you wouldn't get your badges, your loot, whatever.... I think at least hello and goodbye isn't so bad!
(Even if you macro it!)
If they are morons, I wouldnt get all that even with them either :P
I consider them more or less like NPCs.

Arrogant tank here.
I don't say anything. As soon as my screen is loaded I pull. I charge from pack to pack, trying to keep Out of Combat time at a minimum. I don't say hello, or goodbye. Normally my only comments will be negative ones, berating exceptionally poor DPS. If there is an exceptionally good DPS, I will give them props.
That's about it. I'm not there to be your friend, just there to get business done.
Sorry if it seems rude, but it's the truth.
To clarify, I don't care if the DPS is pulling 2k, or if I'm out-damaging everyone, or if I'm doing 50% of the overall damage. I expect that; I'm good, overgeared, chain-pulling, and spamming cleave. When pulls take 10 seconds to kill, and I'm in combat 2 or 3 seconds before my DPS is, I expect that I'll do more damage than them.
So like I said, I don't care if the DPS is pulling 2k or I'm carrying the group. I do care if there's a half AFK hunter who's doing 800 DPS. That's the kind of exceptionally poor performance that I'll berate. Likewise, if I have an awesome Warlock or Mage that's blowing everything away, or a rogue who's being good about Tricksing me, then I'll throw them a good comment. Otherwise I'm not even going to talk, except to any guildies who are with me. I usually grab a DPS or two from guild before I queue since they appreciate an instant queue.
sweets, ill heal your ass any day :P
I normally do not say hello when I get into a heroic. I do however say thanks for the run. I just find talking in a instance anymore does not prove to be helpful since all you get is a asshat trying to be "cool" or try to be "intelligent" but ends up looking foolish.

With the current tank shortage we have the right to be arrogant twits
No, not really. Tanks choose to be.
you need us, we dont need you.
Oh so you can solo H HoR, ICC and every other instance and raid there is!
The rest of the group is just there to make my dungeon last shorter
No, they're there to make the dungeon happen.
if they dont meet that purpose(not talking about dps/GS here, just how they play, like slacking) im out. GL finding a new tank within the next 30 min.
Cool story, bro.
About the greeting stuff, I usually just say hi at the start and ty for the run, cyall at the end. Thats just manners imo.
This is the only thing I see positive in the post.

I perform my tank duties properly, but if someone else doesnt perform HIS duties properly, I start behaving like an arrogant twit. He starts doing his job, or im out. And because I am more important to a group then an under-performing healer/dps, it him who gets kicked. And when not, I leave. Do I see that as arrogant? Yes, I am letting the rest of the group sit without a tank for 10 minutes just because of one tard. Do I see my random heroic more important as theirs? Yes. Do I think thats a reason to behave like a retard(which is what you describe)? No, ofcourse not. I have qued as tank and I'd better perform that well or GTFO.
well yea and no you qued as tank so granted you need to do your job but if you doing your job out skills that of the group, than you are a bad tank ie to big of pulls for the healer,running off to attack another mob when 2 or more are left in first one expecting dps to take care of it (yes had it done several times) not watching the healers MANA POOL
OP
i say /hi and /bye in every group if i chat in between its cause i like the group will make comments on how someones doing or whisper someone on things he shouldnt be doing
if its a really cool group ill reque again at the end to do another run.
theres a topic WHY DO PEOPLE LEAVE AFTER EVERY RLFD?...
i get why when you get bad groups but if your think you group did ok why would you want to leave to reque to possibly get a bad group

No, not really. Tanks choose to be.
Very true. But they choose to do something not many other want to do.
Oh so you can solo H HoR, ICC and every other instance and raid there is!
I can solo normal heroics yes. It just takes longer.
No, they're there to make the dungeon happen.
That too.
Cool story, bro.
okay, i was overexaggerating abit there. But its still 10 min.

If I enjoyed the group, I'll say so. If I was impressed by the healing or the tanking, I'll say so.
See, I get complimented on my tanking or healing from time to time, but I've never gotten complimented on my DPS even if I'm doing 40%+ of the group's total damage.
Compliment your DPS if they're exceptional too, guys!
If a DPS in my group is great, I make a point to mention it and thank him for making the run fast.
If you don't think compliments are necessary or ever warranted in PuGs, whatever. Just don't ONLY praise tanks and healers even when it's a DPS that's doing best.

No point in saying anything when you drop group. The group knows why...cause they SUCK!
