    And the insurance in this instance literally isn't needed. So why are we talking about it?

    Why are we saying it's a good thing that healers are part time relevant, additionally? Why is that good? And let's be honest..so are DPS. The game design is almost** entirely tank centric.

    Tanks being government..OK that's bad? Why would we want any one role to be like the government....

    I didn't say any of this.

    Raven said healers were insurance, you posted what you posted, I responded.

    I stated my stance on the topic earlier in the thread, here:

    I don't understand why you responded to me then. To educate me that insurance saves you from more than I mentioned? Obviously?? Do I need to list out every possible case for you to understand my point? There is no basis for the comparison because this is a role discussion and the tank role has no real life comparison. It is game breaking. Nothing in reality breaks life to the point where insurance isn't necessary. That was my point.

    And that's what we are dealing with here. It's less tanks are the government and more like tanks making your house flood immune (negating any possible need for flood insurance).

    It's also not, as others have implied, just a healer issue or just a high end issue. It's also very much a casual issue. Tanks are a problem.

    In an attempt to reel thing back in. That's all. It wasn't an attack on you. Apologies if it was taken that way.

    The word insurance was stated, and instead of the term being taken for what it is on its own, things got derailed. To the point that we have people talking about insurance policies, single payer / universal healthcare, the government, and etc. None of that applies here.
