How would people feel if they took positional requirements away?

casuals complaining that holding aggro/using aggro dumps is too hard is what basically made tank role as a concept dead...

Sources for this off-hand statement?

I don't remember seeing any questions for the Live Letters around 'holding aggro is too hard'; neither do I remember massive forum posts about the difficulties of tanking and how it should be made easier.

There are certainly a number of people posting on the forums these days complaining about 'the casuals' ...

I think it's fairly reasonable to assume the biggest catalyst for them turning aggro into a joke is they didn't like how the community responded. Tanks wouldn't go into Tank Stance, they'd simply demand DPS use Diversion/Lucid/Tactician/Refresh. I'm guilty of letting many a DPS eat tank busters for refusing to pop Diversion. >.>

Now I doubt that was their only reason but I suspect it was a significant factor in their decision.
