Something need to be done in how tanks acquiring Provoke

[LaylaTsarra]

Better yet: why force all tanks to level the same particular one for a tank-swap skill, instead of them each having their own variant meant to best fit the job, then able to swap it out (new code) or take another atop it (standard cross-class) as they see fit?

Cross class skills serve a purpose they force the exposure of different jobs on those who might only want to try one. I don't see this as a problem in the least but then again that's me. I've leveled all my roles and have multiple accounts. Perhaps that's not for everyone, but seriously this issue of having to level another role to get a cross skill is not a bad thing. One might find they like the job they're getting that skill from and should have a broader experience than just the one role they appear to think they want to do exclusively. At the very least it gives them an appreciation for the role they wouldn't have exposure to otherwise.

I see a trend here on this forum of wanting to skip story, wanting to skip leveling, wanting to skip the bother of getting cross skills they need for their job. Sorry but the end game isn't the panacea some would like to believe. Getting there is more than half the fun.
