To us who have been on the forums for years, you're just another person wanting to revamp a piece of a whole system because you got inconvenienced by a tank in a dungeon. It's tiring at this point.

Tanks in FF14, at this time, have already simplified so much already. No more "stance dancing", no more strafing to keep uptime on bosses, no more attribute melds, bosses tend to self-position more than ever, enmity is not longer a party responsibility and only a tank one, removal of TP, etc. We're tired of tanks being stripped down so "everyone can play" and to help "simplify things."

Your idea is not going to fix any problems when it comes to bad tank players. Button reduction and forced passives do not fix bad. Instead, they punish good players.

You have several systems in your toolbox right now that can help with the bad tank situation:
1. Communicate in the party that the tank is doing bad and help them
2. You can vote dismiss the bad tank
3. You can leave the instance and gamble on another tank
4. You can bring your own tank or be one
5. Set up a Party Finder and screen your tanks.
6. At 71, you can start using Trusts

Lots of options that don't require whole system coding changes and counter design revamps from Satasha up to Ultimate.
now your down talking to me like am some noobie doesn't know what there talkin about and ive been playing this game sense before realm reborn was released. so don't tell me what is what isn't i have seen it all. this is not about "Oh met one bad tank now there all like that" no its not bout that. this is about bad game design. this about being a tank. don't care if my idea is bad. or not sure we already talked about that earlier. and came to understanding it was bad. however. topic changed to: just give you update. state of tanking how it sucks.

this the best can do rather its new damage mitagion abilities or another stupid dps button copy/paste job another button we already have. dont understand how anyone can find fun. this is squire-enix game company making games for longiest time actually has 2 mmos. this is best they can come up with? why isn't anyone expressing there frustration why isn't anyone saying this shit boring. dont care about it being 123 or being 123456 combos as long as that combo isn't just

"potency damage" I mean what the hell? guys seriously still havent gotten it yet i mean come on
