What tanking shortage, where?

That’s what Galo of Ardent Defender is shouting in his post There Is No Tanking Shortage!

I’m gonna fess up, I was shoutin too after reading it cause he is so frakin right! (yea, yea, got that from BSG) There are plenty of tanks and healers but who wants to put up with a pug? I know I don’t. Dag, part of the reason I’m still at 68 is because I’m not running dungeons with pugs. 3 or 4 runs and I could level. However, dealing with all that ‘humans NOT working well in a group’ crap sucks.

Cause for me, the grouping element of the game is actually the one I enjoy the most. Hey, it’s what humans do best – we work well together in groups. It’s what got us to the tasty top of the food chain. Playing WoW definitely lets me get that feral wolf pack thing out of my system. I get a real sense of pleasure when the group dynamics are working and people are taking care of bizness together. (That’s tcb for the older crowd ;p) Everyone gets inspired and does the right thing just at the right time…purrrr…

So when those interactions are off and negative and stressful, uh uh, it’s not how I want to spend my time. It just ain’t FUN and, sorry, I likes me fun =)

Thanks Galo for helping me remember that.
