In the end, the cracked cluster is just a carrot on a stick. I honestly wish they'd just make tanking... more fun and engaging, as I've already stated.

I 100% agree that some people just don't like the responsibility. Like I had a friend in TERA who played Berserker. It was originally a DPS class, but they gave it the ability to tank at level 65 to alleviate queues. However, she said she just wanted to be the person that sticks it to the man, not the man himself.

However, for me, I'll be the man if necessary. But if it's not fun then I'm putting up with crap from idiots for no reason. I suppose the cracked cluster is supposed to be my reason, but to me, that's not good enough of a reason. In the end, it's just a carrot on a stick that I don't care that much about. For some reason, I actually find healing in FFXIV more fun than tanking when I think tanking should be the most fun. Sadly, I think it would require a drastic rework of fight design and tanking as I've listed my criticisms here
