Just my opinion, but if someone keeps telling me what to do I leave the group. You are not my dad or boss. This is not a job. This is for fun.

Yeah, I don't put up with arrogant/bossy players either and tone is key. But let's look at the above quote. You're right. This isn't a job, so there's no reason to 1) go crazy when the XP bar isn't moving at quite the rate you want, or 2) make the game
feel like a job for the tank.
If the game/class mechanics are actually respected by everyone in the group, things go very smoothly for
everyone a majority of the time. It's only when someone gets impatient and/or feels they need to prove they're contributing that tempers flare and things break down.
But to your credit, you bring up an interesting point. Perhaps it's just inevitable that, for some players, chaos IS fun and making the XP bar move as quickly as possible is the end-all game. And you know what? That's fine for them. That's not my definition of fun, and I prefer a social group that can enjoy each other's company while grinding at a reasonable rate. Nobody's wrong in their definition of fun, I guess the trick is finding those people who share your particular philosophy.
