Why so salty?

I can understand that bad DPS players were getting away with being carried by Tank DPS. But I don't think that nerfing tanks will make them better players. At the end of the day it's their choice if they want to get better or not. It was good knowing it wasn't the end of the world if I was queued up with abysmal DPS. That I could help get us all through.

I'm just now more at the mercy of Ice Mages than I was before.

But I guess if there are less of these STR tank horror stories then it is probably worth it. Wouldn't feel so bad if we had actual feedback(Parser) for the bad DPS players to SEE they are doing poorly.

If my job was broken, in that it was doing 35% more DPS than it should be capable of when compared to other DPS and when weighed against livability and party utility...yes, yes I would suck it up and keep my thoughts quietly to myself. It's only right that the job gets nerfed for the sake of balance of all jobs. I'm not self-righteous enough to think that only my job matters when compared to every other job's equality.

A better example would be if MNK was only 5% Higher than the other DPS but got reduced by 35% "just because". That is what it feels like right now. You weren't replacing DPS with Tanks. You're more inclined to replace Tanks with DPS as you would before the STR meta. No tank can replace the DPS utility so that's another moot point, and the extra survivabiltiy is a weak argument as we can see with the ENTIRE POINT of the STR meta.
