Silly. Gear-swapping doesn't have to become a standard. Just make it an option. If it's not needed then no one is gonna make you do it. But at the same time even if it's not needed, some people still wanna do it. Like me.
That would leave you with a tank sitting on the sideline for 75% of the fight. While you could have 2 tanks actively sharing hate, and backing each other up, then both could swap gear when needed. Adaptive Tanks.

If you only had 1 tank for each session, if one goes down your backup tank is set-up for a beating, since he is not in gear that is suitable.

But all this being said, Gear Swapping does not need to be a standard. But why is it an issue if it is possible?

Just because other people are doing it, doesnt mean you have to.
