Seriously, next time you're in a FATE, count how many tanks you have.
This is certainly a problem as right now we have no incentive to run lower level dungeons, and by fate spamming you can skip them entirely. I did my story as a tank so I paid my dues, but even still, the only reason I ever go into a sub 50 instance is if someone in the FC needs it. Fortunately this is supposedly changing come 2.1 which I'm very much looking forward to.

Also to reinforce what pretty much everyone has already said, the rest of the party can be real jerks when things go wrong. You really need to have thicker than most skin, so I wouldn't be surprised if that has been turning a lot of people off to tanking.
