Tanking in this game is perfect, and follows suit from FFXI. Stupid DPS = dead DPS. I've played every single MMO that's come out in the past 11 years and I was so sick of it for one simple reason; I love to tank. My most recent MMO before FFXIV was Rift, and that put the icing on the cake. I was so tired of just being needed because I'm a tank. There was no skill involved besides running my character into whatever I wanted and spamming buttons. It didn't matter what buttons. Any button. Tank = instant que and easy mode in every fricken MMO. At least in this game there is a bit of a challenge brought back, and not just a challenge for me, a challenge for my whole party to not be idiots about healing and DPS.

As a veteran and top notch MMO player, I thank Square Enix personally for giving me something to care about while tanking. As well as not following the example the United States has recently of making its population as retarded as possible.
