You don't get my point. DPS accessories are better on a tank than tank accessories after a certain point. This is not something that the Devs want to encourage because the general playerbase is not smart enough to know when that point is. Giving the playerbase free reign over their stats would cause mass toxicity and divides across the playerbase, as has been seen in the tank community for years (being kicked if you don't use DPS stance for example).

The Devs have worked hard to make sure that the systems in place are clear and not up to player interpretation.
