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

You just don't get it, do you? You can't do the spike threat combo if the mob takes off after Fast Blade because you didn't maintain steady aggro on it. Go put on your item lv 55 AF set with a GC weapon and try to main tank a Duty Finder main story run. Tell me how it goes for you against all the i90 folks.

If you're fighting a boss, you start with 2 Shield Lobs and a Flash as you run by into position which gives you enough enmity to get through your first combo. If it's trash mobs, it's one Shield Toss and a few Flashes.

And if everyone else in your Main Scenario run is supposedly ilvl 90, then get the ilvl 90 tank to tank and pick up the adds he misses and you'll have enough tombs to gear yourself up to ilvl ~70 in no time.

Just saying that you seems to be the only one having this tanking problem ...
Building the game around one person problem only seems ... wasteful ...

I am perfectly aware of how to open fights. That isn't the problem.

I really hope the team at SE understands where I am coming from here. I don't expect all players to get it, especially those who don't have the same experiences us newer players have.

I am not the only person experiencing these issues. Use Google and again here.
