Poddo, I'm deeply sorry I have never pugged with you. I regularly thank my tank for leading the party. Sometimes it's "thanks for the tanking" sometimes "thanks for leading the party" and sometimes "Wow, that was some spectacular tanking there."

Maybe I'm a rarity because I've actually tanked some myself. Not seriously into heroic content, but I've done the 70s as a warrior and I've levelled a bear to 50 or so, pugging as tank all the ay. But I want to say many others I have played with have done similarly. Maybe they were just following my lead?

Then again, I pretty actively maintain lists of great players and great losers and reunite with the former and avoid/ditch the latter.

If a tank actually does me a favor like tanks a group quest or specifically comes to tank some dungeon I've been running 30 times for that stupid idol that won't drop, I usually try to thank them in a few stacks of super healing potions. They usually won't accept, but sometimes do. Should I be using something tastier?
