What's up with tanks?

[CHunterX]

People who don't want to be a tank are forced to play one or suffer 40+ minute wait times to get into a dungeon.

Or build a party in revenant's toll for wp.
Or the relevant area for the dungeon.
Or join an active FC.

Requires a Relic
This isn't a thing anyone does outside of the first four dungeons
Easier said than done

I'm not saying I tank, or don't want to tank (I actually like Warrior a lot, but I've already geared other classes in Darklight for various reasons), but that this is the reason you are seeing more people playing tank like a DPS.

Yeah not big on FC's (bad guild experience in past from FFXI). Guess I am stuck with dealing with the bad tanks. Thanks for input guys!

Honestly if you were the guy that was asking me to not pull in groups, it's most likely that you need to improve your healing skills rather than bad tanks. You're going to encounter many players that don't want to kill small group after small group in wp.

No it doesn't, at all.
Then perhaps they should.
Very easy. There are plenty about.

I doubt many tanks (even ones without Relic) would join a DPS without a Relic, simply due to the demand of tanks.
Waste of travel time
Being "active" means squat when "active" means a different time between two different people. So no, there are not "plenty" of active FCs. There are a few active FCs, and even fewer active at the same time as someone looking for a FC.

They would, and they do.
Then don't complain - the option is there, you're choosing not to use it.
No, there are plenty of active FCs with connecting timezones. More than plenty. You've not even tried to look if you think this.

Then create you own FC/LS with like minded people who play at the same time you do.
