If you have strong feelings about the pace your tank is going at, you should do it yourself.
Bit of a rant but hear me out.
It happens every expansion but I've noticed it ALOT more that some sweaty dps or less commonly a healer will demand the tank pull the whole dungeon (likely taking longer to take down this 50 strong death-ball rather than 5 separate 10 man fights) and get extremely irate or just pull the whole dungeon themselves if the tank takes reasonable packs rather than opening up a mosh pit of every mob in the instance.
I've tanked for years and usually just vote kick these fools but i cant help but be frustrated that i experienced this as early as on day 2 of early access and at least once in each of my alts leveling to 80 journey.
I feel for the new tanks and healers coming to what is largely a chill game, playing through the story and finishing off leveling (IMO the chillest part of a wow x-pac) and then some guy who thinks are are doing a +22 kicks the general stress level of the dungeon into the stratosphere, flames and leaves.
If you need your dungeons to be completed at warp speed, tank yourself or find a group that meets your needs, don't inflict yourself on strangers trying to enjoy their new expansion leveling experience.

for Azeroth
Horde and Alliance just can’t chill and go to war after some serious atrocities like burning trees and cities. They seek new friends in Kul Tiras and Zandalar and uncover ancient threats. Oh, and an Old God, N'Zoth, breaks free and tries to mess everyone up. Big epic battle later, Old God gets taken down—again, but now everyone’s scarred and paranoid.
### Shadowlands
Sylvanas breaks the cycle of life and death, and everyone’s dragged into the Shadowlands—basically the afterlife, but with quest zones. Everybody fights spooky stuff, deals with old grudges, and tries to stop the Jailer, who's got some weird plan to rewrite everything. After some soul-searching (literally), they smack down the Jailer and deal with Sylvanas. Shadowlands are back to “normal,” whatever that means. Oh and Anduin gets PTSD.
### Dragonflight
Dragons are like, “We’re back, baby!” and return to their ancient homeland, the Dragon Isles. They want their powers back to handle whatever cosmic stuff is next. New threats and ancient mysteries start popping up, and everyone has to gear up again. There's these primordial dragon dudes and they get an artifact called the Dark Heart. They give it to shadow goth mommy with stinky feet and here we are.

I know Anduin is often ridiculed for being "weak" usually in comparison to badass orcs, but imho his entire 20yo story arc is amazing. From kid, through hell, to a man. I personally enjoy his journey and his presence in TWW.

The good hero talents are REALY GOOD
Certain hero talents ooze main character energy, l’m at a loss of words to express how much I love them!
I’ll mean this in the best way possible, the best hero talents feel like limit breaks or summons from FF14, it feels like classes just dropped their chains and went truly all out!
Disc priests already got ultimate penitence, now they can summon void rifts and transform their smite into void blast, warlocks get to summon pit lords and other demons with their own powerful spells, monks pulse chi and summon the celestials, evokers call upon their allies, and so on, there are so many amazing ideas and visuals!
There are some obvious losers who got the shorter end of the stick, next to 0 new visuals, weird new abilities, procs, awkward additions that aren’t too nice to play around, I’m hopeful blizzard’s design team is already working on them and will try to make each add to the class’ identity or be even closer to the characters who inspired the talents. Voidweaver and the likes should be the standard!

Enough of the vine pulling quests. Please, we're begging you.
Why are there so many of the "right click a vine, walk slowly away, eventually it snaps and you fall over" quests? It feels like every quest hub has at least one - definitely more than one if it's a farm or cleanup related quest. They aren't interesting, they never have been, and they are super inconsistent about letting you use movement abilities to speed them up. Some let you roll as a monk, for example, but many of the new ones don't.
Join the movement! No more vine pull quests.

The Idiots Guide to Warcraft Lore, TLDR version
### Warcraft I: Orcs & Humans
Some green guys (orcs) show up through a magic door to beat up the humans in Azeroth. Humans say, “Nah, bro!” but it turns out one of their own, Medivh, is helping the orcs. Medivh gets axed by his buddies, but the humans lose anyway and run north. Now everybody’s mad and ready for round two.
### Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness
Orcs, now with a new boss named Doomhammer, try again, but humans got friends—elves and dwarves this time. Big ugly orc Gul’dan ditches his own side for power, so the humans win, and the orcs get put in camps. Dark Portal gets blown up, and things quiet down. But let’s be real; it's not over yet.
### Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal
Orcs think, "Let’s do this again!" and reopen the Dark Portal, planning to swipe some powerful shit. Humans follow them into their own backyard, Outland, to shut this down. Things go boom, Outland goes to hell, and some heroes are stuck there forever.
### Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos
Evil demons, the Burning Legion, stir the pot by turning Prince Arthas into a bad guy. Meanwhile, orcs under Thrall go, “Let’s stop being evil,” and head to Kalimdor for a new start. Night elves pop out like, “Stay off our lawn!” but everyone ends up teaming up to stop the demons. Big bad Archimonde eats a face-full of tree magic and gets toasted.
### Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne
Arthas, now Lich King 2.0, merges with some dead guy's spirit to lead the Scourge. Some crazy elf named Illidan tries to smack him down but fails, runs off to Outland, and sets up shop. Everyone’s picking sides, and Arthas chills in the cold, getting ready for more bad stuff.
### World of Warcraft: Classic/Vanilla
Years pass, and everybody's like, "Peace was boring," so they start scrapping again. Old evils wake up, like zombie armies, dragons, and giant bug gods. New threats, more loot, and bigger grudges keep everybody busy. Meanwhile, whispers of the Dark Portal reopening have folks sweating bullets.
### The Burning Crusade
Portal reopens, and it’s back to Outland for a rematch with Illidan, Kael’thas, and some demon nonsense. Blood Elves join the Horde, Draenei join the Alliance, and it’s a big intergalactic reunion. Illidan gets punked, and Kael’thas tries bringing a demon lord to Azeroth—bad call, bro. Heroes shut him down just in time.
### Wrath of the Lich King
Lich King Arthas says, “Hey, remember me?” and starts wrecking stuff from Northrend. Everybody gangs up to raid his icy crib, dealing with zombies, spider dudes, and his whole mess. Big paladin Tirion gets the final smack in, and Arthas is toast. New guy Bolvar goes, “I got this,” and takes the crown of misery.
### Cataclysm
Big dragon Deathwing wakes up cranky and smashes everything to pieces, causing earthquakes, floods, and fire everywhere. Alliance and Horde are too busy punching each other to really focus on him at first. After wrestling elementals, Old Gods, and lots of fire, they finally take him down. World’s kinda busted, but at least he’s gone.
### Mists of Pandaria
A bunch of ships crash into a hidden continent called Pandaria, and the locals, the kung-foo Pandaren, aren’t thrilled. Garrosh Hellscream, Horde's new psycho boss, decides to go full dictator mode and makes things worse. Alliance and Horde unite to kick him to the curb before he ruins everything.
### Warlords of Draenor
Garrosh goes back in time (long story) and starts an alternate-reality orc army called the Iron Horde. Everybody time-travels to stop him, running into new bad guys, old bad guys, and the usual demon drama. Gul’dan screws things up and brings demons back to Azeroth again. Heroes save the day... kind of.
### Legion
Demons come back—this time, like, everyone—and it’s a full-blown apocalypse led by a crazy Titan named Sargeras. All the factions go “Avengers Assemble!” with magic weapons and demon-hunting elves to fight back. They break the Legion, save some planets, and kick Sargeras to the curb. But Azeroth’s got a giant stab wound now, so...not great.

To the people complaining about Anduin having feelings
I'm sorry that someone made you feel like you aren't allowed to have feelings as a man and think fictional male characters should be the same. Men are allowed to have feelings, they're allowed to talk to about those feelings with other people and in fact they SHOULD be encouraged to do so. Good writing has characters with emotions and it's a good thing if a story makes you feel some type of way as a result of relating to a character and their emotions.
There are a lot of veterans with PTSD in this community and it breaks my heart to read the way some people talk about Anduin's PTSD and how he should just "get over it" knowing that people going through a similar experience are reading stuff like that. Please be kinder and do better.
