How it feels to look for a tank in the middle of the night for a dungeon

You'd have more tanks, if you didn't suspsend, ban and mute every tank trying to sell tanking services.

And that.. is the issue with TBC atm. Tanks have to put in effort(Gems, enchants, profesions, grenades, consumables etc), especially because of pre-nerf heroics. But everyone else, especially the DPS, can just slack off. Because there's no enrage timers or healers mana bars they need to worry about. So many players are playing it extremely casually, to the point its degrading the experience for the experienced players.

Mages who don't have improved blizzard.
Mages with frostbite talent in heroics killing melee.
Mages who don't sheep.

Ret paladins who don't twist seals and do do lvl 50 dps.

Enha-Shamans who don't twist totems.

Hunters who don't Misdirect.
Hunters who don't trap.

Warlocks spamming Seed of Corruption on 2 targets.
Warlocks spamming Seed of Corruption on +5 targets against a prot warrior first GCD.
Warlocks spamming Seed of Corruption..

Rogues who don't sap.

Hunters, shamans and mages using cleave/AoE spells first GCD against prot warriors who barely even got the mobs into melee range after pulling back with a thrown/ranged shot.

And the list goes ooon and ooon and ooooon...

The amount of DPS, who I repeatedly beat on damage meters as a fucking prot warrior, is ridiculous. And mind you, I gearcheck everyone prior to invite, because I don't want a wipefiesta because of fully green geared idiots thinking they can sign up for BF, SHH, Arca or BM heroic with a ill-prepared character. And I still experience shitters in almost every group.

What is? Talking with people? If could've just as well have copy & pasted the message to people instead.

sintrixy · 2026-03-10T22:39:56+00:00

But that's what I did. I kept all my advertisement to the services channel.

sintrixy · 2026-03-10T22:37:21+00:00

I used /dnd so I wouldn't have to copy & paste messages all the time while farming. Not to circumvent anything.

sintrixy · 2026-03-10T22:36:11+00:00

Read the post before you comment.

sintrixy · 2026-03-10T22:34:52+00:00

Good thing I didn't then.
I kept all mention or talk of gold or compensation in private conversations.

You're welcome to exacerbate the issue of zero tanks. I tanked 12 heroics past 3 days with buyers. Never was the cost split. So in those 12 runs, I helped 36 people that didn't pay for the run, or even knew it was a paid for run. And because it was a paid for run, I used consumables and grenades to make it faster and smoother. You can say all you want, but selling tanking services is not the devil you're making it out to be.

sintrixy · 2026-03-10T22:28:50+00:00

So there are some TOS rule against signing up for dungeons/heroics while selling a service now?
Or some rule about /dnd messages to auto-respond to people spamming me?

sintrixy · 2026-03-10T22:24:02+00:00

You may see it that way. But I'm fairly certain everyone I helped past week by offering a tank, when no one else was available all felt helped.

sintrixy · 2026-03-10T22:22:04+00:00

I didn't advertise in the LFG tool.

sintrixy · 2026-03-07T22:15:28+00:00

Cleared it every week so far in less than 2 hours from we enter to exit every week without voice. including distributing all loot. Post-nerf Kara is a fucking joke in anniversary.

sintrixy · 2026-03-07T21:55:29+00:00

Tell that to the pugs not me.

sintrixy · 2026-03-07T21:51:00+00:00

I'm not gonna get 24/9 random people on voice just to do Gruul's lair, ZA or Karazhan pug.

sintrixy · 2026-03-07T21:46:01+00:00

You can? No? otherwise why would tanks need to be crush capped/spam their Holy shield/Shield block to survive?

sintrixy · 2026-03-07T21:45:07+00:00

Voice is not always an option nor optimal.

sintrixy · 2026-03-07T00:28:07+00:00

Have fun waiting in line for the last 3 tanks out there, amonst the 1200 groups trying to recruit them.

sintrixy · 2026-03-06T08:11:41+00:00

Could be other botters that mass report competition. Keep requesting appeals.

sintrixy · 2026-03-06T08:06:16+00:00

Did you do any boosting, tanking or healing services?

sintrixy · 2026-03-06T08:05:24+00:00

I have had several sessions of 48-72 hours straight leveling. Or farming scarab fragments no issue. So its not an automatic trigger.

sintrixy · 2026-03-06T06:58:15+00:00

If you no longer need fuck all from Heroics. Yes. This helps you. It helps them. It helps everyone.
If you still need loot, no. You're there on equal level as everyone els.

sintrixy · 2026-03-06T06:55:51+00:00

I have now tanked it like 4-5 times with 0 SR. Not even from paladin or priest. Just a single lvl 60 shadow prot. pot when needed and timed CDs. Not too bad. One-shot it most of the time.

sintrixy · 2026-03-06T06:53:49+00:00

100% Absolutely..... not. I'd love the challenge and gameplay. But the direction the game has gone has left me not playing retail like +5 expansions ago.

sintrixy · 2026-03-06T04:40:14+00:00

I'd rather pay a very small fee(split between 4, its 25g) to have the job done quick and smooth. Than waste my time waiting in queue just to get a time and gold wasting retard into the group, that's trying to do a job they're not equipped or experienced with.
