How to get people to tank!

[Hierro]

Somehow people have it in their minds that tanking is "scary" and that there's some huge responsibility tied to the job, and that's probably the biggest reason why there aren't more tanks. The "safest" tank is the one people ridicule the most and the best one is one people feel is too "squishy." Somehow people think there are several ways to play, and feel at fault no matter what they do. These are the same crappy tanks who say people complain about them if they pull too much or pull too little when the truth is they've been at fault for their subpar gameplay the entire time.

These are the same subpar DPS and healers who've been getting by their daily roulettes without much question or protest, but it's only when playing a tank do their flaws become that much more apparent. Most people tend to be mediocre players just due to the bell curve nature of things. Good players are good tanks, and people take good tanks for granted and anything less is noticeable and subject to ridicule and such players are simply not high in supply due to the same bell curve.

That is why there aren't more tanks. Want more? SE better casualize this game even harder then. Since no one likes that, we should be happy with what we have.
