Are we not the most lackluster job in the game ?

I guess player skill is irrelevant.

Actually, it is. If two players are equally skilled, then the one who is playing the class that is mechanically capable of pulling larger numbers will be taken. Or, take the player in question, if they are equally skilled across all three tanks, then the one that will be requested the most by their group (barring any advantage that one tank might have due to the mechanics of a fight) is the one that can literally make the fight that much shorter. So yes, to respond to your statement, player skill IS irrelevant. Not that I am complaining, honestly. I'm a tank aficionado. I don't and won't limit myself to just playing one of the tanks, because playing them all is much better than being limited by the capabilities of just one.
