Nail on the head! Exactly my point. Let's say Samurai was Tank like (some) people wanted. Then what, you have SAM/WAR locked, with PLD/DRK both dead for an expansion? It'd be nice for those interested, but then you'd do more damage to the tanking community than good. All in all, the lesser of two evils happened.
