    Honestly, they could just keep increasing the amount of DPS allowed per party until there were no DPS problems if they wanted to.

    But, personally, I find 4 man parties more fun since your contribution to the party isn't diluted by so too many party members.

    I'd say its more of a player mentality problem.

    You could add a lot more tanking and healing jobs to the game if you wanted to, but it wouldn't solve the problem because most players just want to see the big numbers from being a DD. Add to that that playing a tank or healer generally entails more responsability and increases the probability of you getting yelled at and you can easily see why people don't flock to those types of jobs.

    The only way to avoid these kind of issues is to design a game that doesn't rely on the trinity, which would basically mean that you end up with a Diablo game where every player just does its own thing. I'd rather have trinity mechanics.
