Ah, but you assume that everyone that takes up healing wants a challenge. I can say as a leader of MMORPG communities that this is not my experience. As a "career tank," I literally want the healers to have a free ride, and see it as my job to make it so, in thanks for them taking up the job that people rarely want to actually do, dating back to RPGs' tabletop roots.
