My biggest vent is when I am not really in a mood for a speedrun, just taking it at a basic pace for various reasons,and I get yelled at, and even kicked from groups, because I didn't want to speedrun certain content.
Ugh, yeah. My very first time tanking Haukke (normal), I got into a group that just... took off. The DPS immediately started targeting things the second that the healer cast protect, while I was still setting up my Signs panel, because when I tank, I like to mark the %$#@$ targets, thank you.
Immediately, the three of them start getting overwhelmed by the first Succubus and her friends, and I just barely managed to get into combat when they started griping that I had not stunned the Succubus' AOE. I asked quite reasonably to let me get aggro, to which they declared a Speedrun and that "You weren't doing anything anyway."
It was worth losing my DF for a while to let them do their badass three-person run, or twiddle their thumbs waiting another 15 minutes for a fresh tank.
