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

[Reynhart]

What you've suggested where it's only tank stance or go home is exactly that. Only one singular possible playstyle. What we have now is two that can clear. Sure one is more objectively better than the other but at the very least they can both be played with and cleared with. Tank stance or get critted to death? Yeah, fantastic. /s

Ok, so, basically, you didn't understand what I said...

Yeah the RDM's will probably be able to do it considering their goddamn ability to both raise AND heal. Tank busters? Sack and raise. Oh look, they did it, and considerable faster than the "fantastic 8 tank comp". This is a pointless argument.

Let's talk about it once a video shows that, ok ?

It's also well fricken known that no one wants to play tanks or healers.

Except all the people that actually like to play tanks for tanking. You know, those people that think it's approriate that tanks should wear VIT gear, use tank stance, do significantly less damage than DPS...

What SE have down so far is a step in the right direction.

No, it's not, and that's why they're changing it little by little.

DPS queues weren't hour long in HW because would you believe it? People WANTED to play tanks and healers. Why? Because they were able to contribute and feel strong.

No, DPS queues weren't that long because the game didn't give two highly-requested-flavor-of-the-month-DPS at the same, for which the hype will die soon enough. That's why any party you'll find right now will have at least one RDM or SAM, if not both.

Being a protector is not popular and if you base your tank role around that and only around that then that small pool of people is all you're gonna get.

Of course it's not popular since you have people that feel perfectly OK to say you're not contributing at all to the fight if you focus on tanking. Why don't we let the DPS go by themselves ? After all, to use your reference, why would you take two Robins in the team if you can have two Batmans instead.
