Further tank homogenization is pushing me away from tanking

I took your question on reasoning to be rhetorical, yet it's easy to answer the question by shoving yourself in the shoes of those complaining morons for two seconds.

In their eyes, as someone has already implied; its about having everything others do - because they have no intention of bothering to level/gear or invest in anything outside of their aesthetic preference. If they do at any point; they demand the same there.

I see a connection between their fundamental laziness and selfishness, with elements like 'skip pot' and so on. In the sense that certain features stack up and appeal to their sense of ease and entitlement. Think that before they come to the game - they likely find the idea of having everything available to one character attractive (less effort compared to games that don't); and the thought chain builds from there.

They effectively want it made easier and easier, faster and faster, less and less complex. All so they can reach the end game as quickly as feasible, take a few brag photos for a tweet or two - get bored and quit. In turn this aligns with Yoshi's own philosophy of 'expecting people to take breaks'. Another way at times of saying; 'longevity is not supported, because the content is extremely fast because its casual (in the bad way).

If you summarize all of the above into what we can call the 'knock on effect'. Then you will better understand the different stages of anger, that long term MMO players like myself have been through across the years. Compromise with different playstyles yes - or you end up with Wildstar. But to completely baby-fy the game for the lazy/toddler brain player; its a form of favoritism that intentionally ignores the more invested, or experienced. Thats hardly a promising experience/longevity model now is it.
