Please Remove Tank, DPS and Heal

The problem isn't the dedicated roles. The problem is that there are so few of them.
CC isn't a dedicated role anymore.
Buffing and debuffing haven't been dedicated roles for ages either.

And let's take hybrids. That's an even bigger no-no these days. Tank trees hardly synergize with DPS trees, and the same applies to the healing trees: they have very little synergy with the DPS trees as well. I know, it IS hard to make a game where all kinds of hybrid specs can synergize properly without unlocking overpowered combinations, but it seems like hybrid synergies are left out almost completely because of fear for that.

Now some classes can switch their stance into one matching another role. But that's a rather empty ability:
Switching to DPS stance as a tank doesn't improve your DPS much, since you lack the talented abilities and bonusses that really open up your potential to DPS. You might as well stay in your tank stance for the extra survivability and so you can immediately take over incase the main tank dies.
And switching to tank stance as a DPS? Good luck with that as well.

Same for the healers: they can deal some respectable damage, but it's still not as much as a dedicated DPS.
While a DPS trying to heal will suffer a similar fate: it works, to a certain degree.

For most storymode flashpoints, this isn't an issue. A DPS who put a few spare points into the tank tree can tank most storymode flashpoints, and a healer who put a few spare points into the healing tree can heal most storymode flashpoints. But for False Emperor and upward (hardmodes, operations), that's no longer the case: you'll want to be properly specced and geared for your role, or you simply won't make it. The mechanics of the content start to require specific abilities, specific procs, specific buffs, specific shortened cooldowns to keep up the pace.

So say goodbye to the funspecs at lvl 50. Though those might still work in PvP, where the rules are different and the enemies' expectations of your spec and style matter more than what your spec and style actually is.

Its,..2013

Recommendation:
1. Give everyone a natural heal buff over time duration
2. Give everyone heavy armor
3. Give everyone an equal amount of dps
4. Get rid of need and pass and make all loot drop particular to your class and automatically go into your inventory

If you disagree with this post....see the thread titled....Don't Get Discouraged by Jerks in Pug's, FP's and Op's. I am offering a solution to eliminate jerks in mmo's,..well no way to totally eliminate jerks but you get the idea

I'm not into PVP much at all. So generally these roles arent much of a consideration for me. However, i can see the need for them. They give, in theory, a clear idea of what you should be doing in a fight. They allow people to take on the role. Its also stops people complaining about never being able to do the other guys job in a battle. If you are a healer, you heal and help when necesary. And so on... They are not old, they are tried and trusted methods of giving people a purpose in a battle. If you just have everyone pilling in you are just hack and slashing and hoping for the best. There is no tactics.

Tank, DPS, Healers. Even as a roleplayer who doesnt enjoy PVP i can see why they still function.

Go play GW2 if you're so interested in this. Oh wait, that game is boring as hell after a couple of weeks.

The trinity works fine for this game. QQ somewhere else.

Guild Wars 2 proved that an MMO without dedicated roles, such as in the trinity system, is soleless, bland, dull, and just plain boring. Roles of Tank, Heal, and baddies (DPS) are the staple of MMO's -- and they shouldn't be messed with.

Its,..2013 and I think we all can agree something needs to change. I am talking about the old, worn out and tired system of Tank, DPS, and Heal. It really is obsolete in this day and age,...everyone...EVERYONE no matter what class you are ....wants to beat on the bad guy,..they want to slay,..ok.....they don't want to follow rules in fights...they just want to beat on stuff and watch stuff die

This notion that you have to have dps, heal and tank in fights is old school...it's past its time

Ask anyone...ANYONE...and they will tell you...they just want to Tank n Spank and get hell outta there and collect the commendations. In and Out..simple..fast and done

As it is now,...what do people do in flashpoints? Lol...they skip trash and go directly to Boss and kill for the phat lewt. Spacebar commandos and don't you dare listen to the story...rush to the Boss...get your objective and done

Dps fights stuff that the tank isn't even fighting ROFL...healer is healing the dps'rs instead of the tank ROFL...tank is has no clue what aggro is ROFL.....i mean it is total chaos in mmo gaming now days. It is rare to find a coordinated group in traditional tank, heal and dps roles working like a swiss watch

1. Give everyone a natural heal buff over time duration
2. Give everyone heavy armor
3. Give everyone an equal amount of dps
4. Get rid of need and pass and make all loot drop particular to your class and automatically go into your inventory
