Is there a "Fake Tanking" Problem in the Elder Scrolls Online? - ESO

The debate around Fake Tanks in ESO dungeon groups is one that's been going on for a long time.

The issue of "fake tanking" (queuing for a random dungeon as a tank, while actually being a DPS character) is one that's been argued about in the ESO community for a long time now. Some players do this a lot to try to speed up their dungeon run, while others do not like fake tanking because they see it as being selfish and detrimental to the enjoyment of the dungeon for the other players. This article is not intended to take sides on the matter, it is simply an overview of the problem and the potential solutions to it.
