Please Reconsider Splitting Main and Off-Tank Roles Based on Job

[SalamanderIX]

What you are saying is that in Stormblood although "DRK could maintank", it was effectively "almost exclusively an offtank".

Assuming that's true, it is exactly what some players are concerned about: they don't want to be pigeonholed in a specific tank sub-role depending on their tank job.

I don't mean to say Stormblood was ideal, and there's more going on right now.
It's just that part of having job identity involves losing things. This is the trade-off of identity, some tanks need to be good at some things and lack some things, so they can not do everything, and specialize in certain aspects. We're also dealing with a new system. Any new system is going to be a trade-off and we have to sacrifice to get one.

So I believe we need to wait and see what they are doing. Most of us want change and identity, and some players are going to find it, or certain aspects unpleasant. I would rather choose to be mt or ot, but what I want even more is changes to a stale system and am willing to wait to get the *complete picture* before asking them to turn back.
