Is there any way to play the game as DPS? Or just end subscription?

Sure, most of them will SUCK at their jobs, and quite possibly after a while we'll see the new jobs more evened out. But for a while, at least, this might happen DPS queues.

You're right, about it being coolest, etc... But this point you made troubles me. We already have enough trouble with people disrespecting all tanks/healers because of the sadly numerous bad apples, but with even more people playing tank/healer just for the queue times it will drag our collective reputations even lower....

Something really similar happened in World of Warcraft, with the advent of the Death Knight on WOTLK. The end result? DK tanks are stigmatized TO THIS DAY. What worries me more is that they probably won't need you to lvl up a class from lvl 1. Everyone will have access to a lvl 60 tank job easily, YAY. I see it as a real possibility that DRKs will, in the future, have a fame of being bad players that surpass even the Dragoon stigma we have now.

Incorrect. They said it won't start from level 1, but that it also obviously won't be max level immediately. They didn't say what level it'll start at, but I'm guessing somewhere between 15-30.

Personally, I think it needs to start at level 1.
