I like that we generate more enmity now, but it went a tad bit overboard. I can't imagine how boring PLD must be right now.
    They can't win regardless of what they choose to do. I guarantee that had they put in something to force tanks to maintain high threat (paying attention), such as diminishing threat levels over time, people would complain it's too difficult to do because there's already too much for tanks to worry about. Cooldowns, stuns, positioning, dodging red, etc. The route they took, albeit the less stressful/active approach, won't scare away people from taking up the role when they need to. "Too much responsibility" is a lot scarier to folks than "boring".

    Furthermore, besides doing exactly what people are doing now, I don't see how threat management is going to be any less boring to folks that find it currently boring lol. You're still using the same abilities. Maybe it's just a mental thing. Like knowing you have to wake up for work/class because you're obligated to, instead of waking up for work/class because you have a brighter future ahead of you, would probably make that action a lot more tedious.
