    Still won't fix the problem. Every mmo I have played that has the trinity system in place struggles with a shortage of tanks. It has nothing to do with the number of tank classes available, or the number required for any specific content. It has everything to do with people not wanting the responsibility of "leading" group content.

    Alternatively, those with "soft" roles or "spectrum-ed" roles have no such issues, since everyone's about equally capable and culpable of/for group responsibilities. Hmm.

    And yet, GW2 was incredibly boring and stacked Warriors for speed clears because of this.

    Nowhere in there did I say nobody else has responsibilities. Now, if you'd like to read it again, I said "the responsibility of 'leading' group content."

    I play a tank and I've never lead anything so I don't know where you get the idea that tanks have to be leaders?

    You have to lead every dungeon you do, since DPS or healers pulling is a very bad idea.

    Apparently you don't understand the meaning of the quotes?
