So the new "norm" for tanks is to only run the dungeon if they get all BOE's. While this may seem like its easier for you to get a tank now, it wont change anything (the amount of time it takes to get a tank) in the long run. Very soon, if not already, every tank will expect this and there will not be a single dungeon run where the BOE's are fair game. Bringing you back full circle to spending the same amount of time to find a tank, and it's expected that they get the items.
Obviously they have a specific role that can only be met by a single class, Warrior (Insert argument about druid tanks). In my opinion this is just another side affect of retail WoW spilling over to Nostalrius and we as a community need to nip it in the butt before it gets out of hand.
By all means it is my/your right to not group with these tanks and to keep looking, and it's what I choose to do. (Same thing for groups that reserved items)
Worst thing about this is it's community driven.
Tanks that expect BOEs, reserved loot.

most tanks become selfish pricks once they join a raid guild caus the guild will give them all the tank gear they can ever dream of.

Henkebenke does this, joins a dungeon and once he is inside the instance he throws a fit about everyone should pass the BoEs to him.

seeing "tanks" (read: complete shitternerds who just happen to play warrior) yell this all day in /world is just an easy way to avoid running dungeons with scrubs.

Re: Tanks that expect BOEs, reserved loot.
So don't run with these tanks. I've never paid a tank to do a run or given them all the drops. The most I've ever done is let them have AD tokens or DM E veins(on my non miner character).

I bet you're looking forward to all the ZG pugs where mounts + idol are reserved.

Re: Tanks that expect BOEs, reserved loot.
Did this all the time. If you want a run done at a breakneck pace with zero wipes, you can cough up a few greens that drop during the run, or pay the fee. Otherwise you can wait even longer for some slapdick who thinks healers are OOM at 75% mana.
If I ain't gettin gear out of that place, I'm gettin dem dollar bills.

Re: Tanks that expect BOEs, reserved loot.
Just because the player is a loot wh0re doesn't mean they are any good. Are they tanking for a reputable guild? If so, chances are they have little interest in running 5-man's, and if they are it's only a way to farm gold at your expense.
