Why aren't there more tanks in FFXIV?

[Laerune]

Just got my MRD and GLD to level 30. I have noticed that the #1 problem that I am suffering from is DPS or Healer who can not wait 2 seconds, so I can pull the mobs. They attack the mobs and if things go wrong, I get verbaly insulted. I have had this since I was level 15, so I am not suprised that we have a shortage of tanks.

I have also noticed that alot of good skills which Tanks in other mmorpg unlock at low level, in FFXIV Tanks get those skills after level 30. Defiance/Oath Shield should have been a level 15 skill. These two skills make tanking alot easier and help the player with keeping threat.

If you're being verbally abused, just report and leave. Sure, it is sad to leave some of them, but you have an instant queue and don't need to put up with it. I don't do roulettes anymore, but if I encountered that, I'd offer to leave first and let them kick me if the group majority wished it. If not, I'd vote dismiss the mean person -- failing that, I'd just leave. No one has the right to abuse anyone else in a thing as silly as a video game ^^
