Would tanks be okay if SE swapped the damage between tank and healers?

Listening to the vocal part of your playerbase is nearly always a bad idea as a game dev, as the vocal players are only good for telling you what might be a problem, not how to solve it.

Please forgive me if I'm misreading what you're going for here, but...

Why would more vocal players be any less able to point out a likely solution path than less vocal players? And why would the playerbase not necessarily handing the devs the solution on a silver platter mean that it's a bad idea to listen to them?

Critiques need to be taken in context, yes, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be heard at all.

More relevant - to me - is that there's no point to this so long as its automated.

I just wish I had more of a hand in my own survival and keeping the enemy on me, and less just dealing damage like I'm a melee DPS that has all-face-positionals.

Fully agreed.
