It's past time, Yoshi-P...

And when did I ever say you wanted it? I was just asking you questions about the suggestion you were making.
The issue with adding a new content-type that focuses less on DPS and more on Healing and Defensive-Tanking is that they would have to balance abilities around it, causal play, and raiding. SE already has an issue balancing around just casual and raiding.

Pretty sure new raid encounter is balanced around top end players only. So certainly SE is willing to make content for a small sub set of players that is balanced around them. Not everything in a game has to be cleared by every subset of players. Also sorry figured since you quoted me I figured you were asking me what a more active tank is, did not know it was a general question.

I am sure SE has developers on staff that would love to make content that places a larger burden on tank and healers, I say let them go ham. Not all content has to be made with every player in mind, that mindset is what causes issues within a community. If SE provided enough variety in content that focused on a wider range of play styles I am willing to bet overall we will have a happier community.

I don't see that working well though. If players can't perform their role's main responsibilities now to the point they can focus on dpsing, then I doubt they'll be able to clear content with a much higher focus on their role's main responsibilities.

Said content will not be meant for those type of players. They already have their own content that can be cleared by putting for the barely any effort. This content will be designed around players that want tank stance to hold more value or not be bashed for sitting in tank stance, and for encounters that allow players to focus solely on healing without being ridiculed. It is not a perfect idea, but I think this type of content will create a preferred play style that allows for content that matches it. Instead of it being forced on all players.
