The only reason that it's "outdated" is because some people suck at it for the same reason that so very many suck at DPS (they have no idea how to use their abilities effectively): generating enmity is *just like* dealing damage because dealing damage is how tanks generate enmity. The only reason that people act like it's a completely different is because the consequences are different: when a DPS sucks at dealing damage, no one notices unless there's a parser whereas, if a tank sucks at enmity generation, it's readily apparent because people other than the tank are being punched in the face.

If you want to nerf an enmity system so much that it's not a factor in play at all, don't act like you're fixing an aspect of the game. You're removing that aspect completely simply because some people suck at it, not because it's actually improving the system and making the game more enjoyable.
