Why all the whining?

[Vonericson]

I recently left a popular mmo thats been butchered because of whiners to come here and frankly I'm a little concerned. Looking through the forums I see virtually nothing but qq and people spitting out "nerf this" "nerf that" "nerf nerf nerf" and my question is, why the hell would anyone want 1 of only 2 tanking classes nerfed? This is the most asinine request ever. I very much enjoy this game just the way it is and apparently so do a lot of others. There is no valid reason that a class other than a dps should ever be "nerfed" and thats only if tanks are failing to keep hate off of them. Please, if you like shortages of tanks/healers, classes being constantly changed so you have to re-learn it every couple of months, tanks being one-shotted, healers that cant keep up, constant wipes and insane repair bills, do everyone a favor and go back to WoW.

Also, ego problems...many PAL I run into think they're the most important people in the game, so having to share tanking is equal to a huge nerf...

People don't like change, it's in human nature. So much for being adaptive creatures huh?

This. I actually used Duty Finder to do Titan HM for the giggles and some PLD who barely broke 4.5k hp immediately assumed he was going to MT and rushed titan before I even had the chance to tell him if he would like to MT for the experience. Mind you, in my gear and food I have 7.7k HP. I just love it how PLDs assume they own the place xD.
So, what did i do you ask? Simple. I took hate from him and watched him Q.Q his way to half of his emnity bar.

Having to share tanking? Not a nerf. Being replaced as MTs and possibly not brought along because we do less damage and why not just bring another Warrior? Definitely a nerf. We'll just have to see. Not that any of you Warriors give a fuck.

2 reasons.

1. WAR is now looking to be the best MT and OT.
2. WAR is no longer a self-heal Tank.

I hope the changes don't go live in their current state.

Actually, you do more damage than the Warrior if a Warrior has applied SE.
Evenw ithout SE, the amount of damage a Warrior does compared to a Paladin is only greater by an insignificant amount and is nothing to be worrying over.
Paladin mitigation is also more consistent.
