SE made this game AST only, why?

How is this our fault? We simply adjust based on the functionality surrounding their game design. Why am I doing to spend more time in tank stance when I won't have any need of it? Why am I going to heal using Cure when Regen is vastly superior? The devs can push back all they fancy. All it accomplishes is outright rejection from the playerbase. People have been saying for two years now Paladin needed magic mitigation yet the devs insisted otherwise. Lo and behold, Paladin falls out of use relatively to Dark Knight and suddenly they slap magic mitigation on it. Healers aren't just going to suddenly use Cure and Cure II more frequently because the devs prefer that nor will they stay in tank stance longer unless its required.

These are choices made by a player to be optimized, because it is simply not required as per design. The issue is stemming from efficiency being enforced by other players as design. This is SE sighing and caving because players do not listen. You know, those kids that throw tantrums to get what they want and get it because parents are tired of dealing with it (or some other excuse). You fail to mention how paladin can just as well do content as the other tank roles, creating just a bit of a false scenario, or at least a misleading one. It's not that paladin needed it, but content was certainly easier on other jobs. Yet, it was nowhere near impossible to do it on a job that would require better resource management or simply higher execution to do it.
