This thread is missing the point, the design of this game is wrong, the content is not funny and it's highly repetitive, that's why most players just want to get their daily run done asap, on the other hand the MMO community has grown bigger and now is filled with people who used to play shooters, MOBAs or any other kind of action games, people that simply "don't care" about the community or the living world an MMO is.

And as tank this game is even harder, because every mechanic SE creates to make the game harder relies on the tank role, except for titan you can faceroll any battle as DD after 1 or 2 wipes while tanking requires a long practice.

@OP
If you want to keep playing and tanking just lvl a DD do the first run as DD, learn the basis, and come back as tank, and for the next time, try to play every content the same day it's released.
