    It's not SEs fault that way more people play DPS then Tanks or Healers.

    And to the people who keep saying well they need more tank and healer jobs, no this won't do anything if someone doesn't want to tank or heal they will pick dps regardless of how many different tank or healer jobs there are. Personally I find DPS to be not fun to play and I don't get the appeal of why so many people play them.

    Of course its not SE's fault that more people play DPS rather than tanks and healers; however it is SE's fault that they haven't mitigated the problem caused by this disparity (and its not a new issue, it goes all the way back to EQ). It was less of an issue in some earlier games due to the ratio difference, a 6 man group would have 1 tank/heal for every 4 dps, WoW has 1 tank/heal for every 3 dps, ARR has 1 tank/heal for every 2 dps. They went the wrong way, having an 8 man group being 1 tank, 2 heal, 5 dps would probably have the ratio right but would require rebalancing most of the game so its to late for it. They had a chance to mitigate the utility/dps ratio and passed it over.
