How to make tanks more fun to play (devs please read)

Not to detract from your ideas, as I feel constructive feedback should be encouraged, but three decades playing MMOs is a little misleading considering MMOs didn't surface until the late 90's (UO '97 / EQ '99) so at most you could have been playing them for 17 years.

Having your friend sit by your side while you played Adventure on the Atari back in '79 doesn't classify as MMO either.

MMOs have been around since the late 70s, beginning with MUD1 in 1978. So they've been around for nearly four decades.

MO's (MUDs) =/= MMO's. Big difference there. Namely the size and nature of the end user. The audience size of the early games were limited by access to technology let alone the facility to actually get online. As such the limited playerbase were generally programmers making games for other programmers not a paying public. Wasn't until the early 90's that some games offered an online facility but it never really became huge until Ultima Online and then Everquest where the genre gained momentum.

Claiming you have 30 years gaming experience, even online gaming experience, would have been less misleading. Your post would have stood on its own without having to resort to using that as a stamp of credibility to be honest.
