Well I have no problem tanking or with the role. I have been maxing out classes of every type healer/tank/dps etc. in mmos since 1998. General skill levels of players and party leading is not what I am referring to.

I should have mentioned it in the first post but I would have assumed it was obvious that this is in response to the tank problem regarding the ever increasing focus on DPS for tanks and healers, which in and of itself is not bad. I and many others love doing damage even when providing other main roles. The problems are with having to choose gear based on strength. Slaying versus Fending. No other job has this choice. Being unable to roll on str items, (which is fine, but needs to be fixed so that you don't care if you can't need strength dps accessories.)

This is a fix for tanks who don't feel like tanks should feel, when you're trying to gear your right side like a dragoon. In response to the dozens and dozens of threads on the issue.
