Assumption. Although anecdotal evidence, I've run into very few people under 18 in this game.

you pick it all up, use all your defensive cooldowns and die cause the DPS is auto attacking.
Find better people to play with, or kick the offending DPS.

Then said DPS complains for 30 minutes about the tank being bad, and gets you kicked from the party.
Again, find better people to play with. Why are you sticking with a group when someone is such a verbal abuser?

There are many threads about why so few tanks exist in this game, but I don't think you've really added anything to the discussion overall with this new thread. I don't think there are many tanks in this game because, as others have said, it's not a very interesting job. The new 2.1 content changes that up quite a bit, but that's only 4-5 fights out of the myriad in this game.

Also, I'd say a lot of people don't like the pressure tanking brings. There's much more responsibility on a tank than a dps, which is why the ratios are so off.
