Different party sizes in the future

What would happen if they increased the number of dps per tank/healer?
Tanks/Healers that didn't really want to be tank/healer would take it as an excuse to switch to dps and queue times will remain unchanged.

Since people avoid playing tanks because they feel it's too much responsibility, SE should instead of further rewarding players who chose tank put more responsibilities on the dps.
Maybe then players wouldn't flock to dps because dps is the easiest with practically no responsibilities beyond doing damage, and start doing tank/healer more...

Whoa, yeah, I totally agree. We dont want people playing a class they ENJOY. Thats ridiculous. Lets just keep things the same. Give people a mount. THAT will make them enjoy tanking.

It give them a reason to test out the tank role.
After they tested it they can decide if they enjoy the role or not.

The mount it just a bait to bring the players to test it out before deciding against it..

The person I was responding to said they didnt want people currently playing tanks to switch over to DPS classes they enjoy more instead of tanking out of necessity/obligation, but derp derp general forums derp derp.

Actually, a lot of dps play it because they didn't want any responsibility at start and never tried anything else. As an example, my gf started with ACN, and switched to THM when the time to chose her job came, because she liked the big hits of BLM more than the DOTs of SMN. After some weeks in coil, she decided to come back on ACN and the SCh way. Now she's doing everything but the coil with her SCH, as she enjoys it way more than dps duty. She also tried tank but can't bear the melee fights. Well, at least she tried.
