What do you guys think is the cause of severe lack of Tank users?

[Satarn]

And yet we still get blamed for failing the DPS check, not the DPS,because our damage is too low or we aren’t giving it our all, or some other excuse to dunk on us instead of the DPS. Odd how that works.

With how much Blame and Inconvenience we tanks seem to cause at least to some people, maybe we should delete the role.

Oh wait no that means the blame goes over to the healers

Can we stop this stupid bs of "oh woe is me, everyone is always blaming my role for everything and hating on us, when it's everyone else's fault!"? Healers do this a lot as well, perhaps even more so, but regardless - it's not a thing. It doesn't happen. Stop it. You're just making yourself look like a whiny baby.

Everyone screws up and everyone gets blamed for party's failures - sometimes deservedly, sometimes unjustly. Yes, some idiots will pass the blame to anyone else, but it's not role-exclusive by any means. You're not an effing martyr for playing tank/healer.

That's probably another part of why people don't want to play support roles - they hear everywhere about how tough it is, how everyone will hate on them, despite it not being even remotely true - just like the supposed difficulty.
