Lets stop fighting SE and work with them. What are your ideas?

you're missing my point here. in a few other MMOs i have played tanks were made fun because you had to CONSTANTLY 24/7 maintain agro and actually MANAGE it, and also use cooldowns efficiently to mitigate damage ALL the time. In FF14 you only need to really do 1-2 agro combos at the start and maybe another 1-2 throught the fight, this is not hard agro management and as for cooldowns? you only really need them for tank busters.
So basically in FF14 the "tanking" aspect is extremely easy and so the added layer of complexity is doing extra damage; THAT is what makes tanking "fun" in this game, its not the struggle for agro management or giving your healer a high five because you survived auto attacks that are hitting you for 80% of your health, its about doing damage and shrugging off tank busters, why do you think people use STR accessories? because its only tank busters you have to worry about.


Bottom line is that if they dont fix the current way tanks are tanking will NOT be fun anymore which will cause many tanks to switch to other classes (as thats very easy to do in this game because of the armory system) which will in turn drastically hurt game health. this is why they either need to embrace the dps tank meta or completely change how tanks play.
