WoW has it such that tanking is DOWNRIGHT BORING without tanks working to maximize dps. And, btw, if you haven't raided in heroic or higher (WoW's intermediate raid level)...then you have no business even discussing how tanks "top" the dps meters.

Also, if you're tanking solely to CONTROL a fight, you're doing the BARE MINIMUM. Git gud.

Exactly. WoW tanking in raids was basically, "Stand here, then move. Now move again. Are you bored?! THEN DPS!". In FF14, your tank damage actually matters.
