    I understand what some of you are saying and i keep seeing, this is not PVE. that has nothing to do with it, i'm going to assume that this is your first mmo, where you have played PVP. most games have it so that the tank can gain aggro lol. If their healer dies then so does the tank. then the dps if you choose this order. i'm ok with what you guys are saying. But please don't keep saying PVE is not PVP, makes me think you have not played that many MMOS or PVP what so ever. also going to assume most of you casual players. I will just leave things as is if no one agrees. No need for me argue with the masses. You should really go try your hands at some other mmos that have PVP and compare the two.

    Off hand here is a list of mmorpgs I've played:

    Ragnarok Online
    Lineage II
    Aion
    Age of Conan
    World of Warcraft
    Guild Wars
    Guild Wars 2
    Champions Online

    Out of all of those games, only Lineage II allowed tanks to taunt in pvp. It wasn't like that when the game launched, but was changed in a patch a few years later. Then quickly nerfed because how overpowered it was against other players. People are suggesting to you that you think pvp is like pve, largely because tanking is something only found in pve.

    SWTOR allowed tanks to taunt in PVP. Even the DPS specs could taunt. Taunt reduced the outgoing damage of anyone afflicted to anyone they hit except you.

    Assuming people are ignorant and havent played any other pvp mmos is not a very good way to make an argument. Tanks are useful. You cant play your class as if you were in a PvE party if you want to have impact in XIV PvP.

    I dont think PvP should be moved toward the PvE style that you are describing (yes you are describing the current XIV PvE mechanic). I am opposed to your suggestion.

    So...you're saying SE should jump on the 'monkey see, monkey do' bandwagon? Rather than just learning how to play effectively in this game with the mechanics they created?
