Darklight used to be the final piece of gear for tanks - And it was difficult to obtain because of droprates. Heavy darksteel was also in the game at the time, and it had much of the same use as it does in 2.0. Not as good as darklight, but good if you could get melds on it. I think.

So it was actually pretty cool to end up in armor that made you look like a tank. I understand some people don't like it, but I think there's nothing more awesome than an Axe-wielding darklight user. Not so cool on Paladins, but on Warriors it just looks awesome.
I liked my lvl 25 tin can for about 5secs. Then I noticed how ridiculous I looked and that I couldn't turn off the helm. Not even a /visor. The tin can can go away and I'd be happy. I just with there was a more WAR styled tank armor. All the 'cool' tank armors are PLD looking. Very Knight like. I loved Cavalier in Brayflox, but it made my WAR look like a PLD to everyone. No idea how they'd make that kind of armor look, but something even slightly distinct would be cool asides from our AF/Myth gear.
