Why would there be more tank players? If you wanted to build yourself as a brick wall tank, the choice was there. If you wanted to get more invovled and take an active role within the party by becoming a notable catalyst, that choice was also there. People went tank because of those choices. Now that one choice is ultimately pushed aside, why would there be MORE people coming in? To think otherwise is very illogical.

"Oh boy, now I can be a lazy punching bag AND feel good about being incapable of high dps because we don't have a choice anymore! Golly, now those tryhards will stop making me feel bad about my own incompetence."

Doesn't sound very realistic, right?
