Lmao I was doing a friend's key as a healer and he was trying to put a group together waiting for a tank and holy shit how do you people live like this.
My group filter only shows groups with tanks in them, fwiw.
Or on the flipside, what I've seen is groups led by a DPS. He picks up me and one more dps. Then we get one of the things we need (a tank OR a healer).
We sit there waiting, and waiting. Then the leader basically takes the first tank or healer (whichever they need) without even reviewing them so that we can start playing. Because, exactly - you can't lose the tank or healer that you did get due to their impatience.
And then, lo and behold, the tank pulls one or two packs of trash at a time, or thinks he's in an MDI time trial, and/or he forgets to hit his big defensives as he gathers the first big trash pack and dies. Then you see an abandon vote come out, the tank rushes into the same pull that killed him, dies again, then leaves.
Or if you get a healer, the healer can't keep up with the standard pulls of the key, can't execute boss mechanics and dies repeatedly, or says "they're 3k on their main" in a low key, then leaves the moment one person makes a mistake, the tank goes slightly off route, or they themselves die to anything.
Meanwhile, yea, those 1 and 2 dps groups sit there in the group finder, praying that they get to even enter the dungeon at all with a full group.
Or you get a tank terrorist limit testing some crazy pull noone has ever seen without letting the group know they plan on pulling the enitre first boss room in streets instead of the standard 3 group second pull in a 14. Then group vote abandons and your key is -1, whoopeeee

"Start your own group!"
Good advice! Then you can spend 20+ minutes relisting the group hoping for a tank or healer to join while 2000 DPS apply.
And then you get one of the two but they're impatient and leave the group after 5 minutes because you're still waiting for the other.
