It sounds more like people just prefer War over Pld and a lot less like Pld is somehow not measuring up to War.

This debate reminds me way too much of Ninja Vs Pld in 11, and sounds like people just do not want to tank with a classic tank. I know a bit of over-simplification, but, this is an MMO, people are always going to push for the highest numbers, and, well, SE will never intentionally make a tank job that simply holds hate against everything everyone throws at a mob. The concept is not only silly, it is self-defeating in the end. But, I suppose, they could always try and give you want you ask for (I am not trying to sound crass). I am curious to see how it would work.

And the funny part is, the Skill vs argument is already starting... I have already heard too many stories about how Pld has measured up, and too many arguments about how "Well, it may work for you, when we try a Pld they go squish" or something along that lines.

From the sound of it, Pld is now the job that has reached a point that SE has been striving for. People need to know how to use the job for it to be good. War on the other-hand became the job, Zerg it, and it will all just die.

And the people have decided, they just want things to die... (ok, that was being a little crass).
