Opinions: Should tanks work for aggro?

[ItMe]

Why do people have this misguided notion that tanking was somehow more complicated in Stormblood because enmity was a thing? It wasn't. If you knew what you were doing you did the same thing you're doing now, try to deal as much dps as possible because high dps also meant high enmity generation. Even if the worst case happened and some dps player somehow managed to deal high dps but not know what diversion was you would simply occasionally replace 1 dps combo with an enmity combo, it barely made an impact on how you played as a tank.

So it did make an impact then?
Having an extra combo and another meter to manage did make an impact then?
Maybe it didn't make much of an impact for you, but having more to juggle does literally make a job more complicated, even if things do kinda even out with high skill.
Your very next sentence admits this when you say:

The only thing that changed between SB and ShB for tanks is that you can't lose aggro on an enemy anymore unless you're literally afk

So if was made easier, that means it was less easy before.
That's where this "misguided" notion comes from.
