Are tanks a scapegoat for performance issues?

When a tank or healer fails, it's often plainly visible.

When a DPS fails, you can't say anything because you get reported for using a parser.

This is so true. Unless of course there's a significant DPS check, but we can't have those in casual content now can we because that'd be mean.

Every encounter with a dps check has either gotten nerfed (original steps of faith) or people get overgeared to the point some are carrying the new person.

You don't really see them in casual content because DPS jobs are significantly harder to play mechanically than a Healer or a Tank. Sure it's more visible when a Healer or Tank fails but MECHANICALLY, their jobs aren't that difficult to preform. Healers and Tanks don't have to deal with mechanics like Enochian and Wanderers Minute. It was already a nightmare going into Neverreap as a BLM. Imagine if they put strict DPS checks on top of it.
