It also depends on the person doing the wrong thing. When I play my Mage, I do at times pull aggro and die. When this happens, I quickly tell people that “Sorry, that was my fault, I wasn’t watching closely enough – thanks for the res” etc. I am *NEVER* going to bitch and moan about the tank or healer sucking when I’ve gone and pulled aggro and not hit iceblock, or some such. I’m fully aware that it is my job to watch my aggro, and the healer is not to blame.

That said, the attitudes of some people really amazes me. It has improved a lot since Wrath (thanks, healer shortage) but in BC it was horrible. I would finish runs very upset because of bad players doing the wrong thing repeatedly and at points I just couldn’t save them. The torrent of abuse that usually followed was remarkable.

Fast forward to today and I simply won’t put up with it anymore. If you do something stupid and get yourself killed repeatedly, I’m not going to take your abuse.
On the same note, if you die because I was slow to react, had lag, simply got unlucky, or made a poor choice – I will apologise and res you ASAP.
Mistakes happen for everyone, it’s the aftermath I can’t stand.

I’ll try to taunt and intervene. And I want them to do as much dps as they can. Sometimes they push it too far. Sometimes when they do I can save them and then sometimes I can’t. Since I’m always with guildies I’m usually laughing at them when they die and they are joking that I’m a gimp tank even though I may have just have been MT on heroic KT 15 minutes before.

In raids, I am seeing more and more mages pull aggro because they are gettting crazy crit and instant pyros. I tell them that’s why we bring so many mages because their life expectancy isn’t so good. I keep stacking more and more expertise and hit but they keep getting more and more crit. Threat wasn’t an issue when they were doing 2K dps but now that some are pushing double that it is a lot more of a challenge – and more fun.
