I have one of each of the tankable classes and I were never under the impression that holding threat was a problem? I actually thought it was fun being in a random dungeon with a guy with imba gear. Making me work a bit more? I dont see the problem?
I'd prefer it if they brought DPS roles up the the deifficulty level of tanks and healers, I wonder how that would've come across instead?
Not all casual players are bad players - two completely different animals - and to be honest this whole elitist view players have is tired. WoW is not hard, and it never has been - yes even in vanillia (it was just more annoying then, not hard). To even think that threat has mattered since BC is completely bullshit - because it hasn't.
Wait, people were having threat issues? Wat. I mean, the only threat issues I know of are bear tanks with AoE, and warriors with snap AoE to a lesser extent.
I think you misunderstood my post. I never said casuals = bad, just that some people consider casuals as bad, hence casual/bad. Threat really hasn't mattered too much, it certainly matter more back in vanilla or BC than it did in WLK or Cataclysm. The thought process of threat decay was murmured by devs back prior to Cataclysm release and then was scrapped altogether.
I'm a protection warrior tank myself since vanilla, I always liked the challenge to keep all the threat, surviving with my beloved cooldowns and stuff. If getting threat is now rly that easy, I won't be having that much fun...

Long time tank, I approve. Anyone whining, you`re just a baby that whines about everything here, seriously. my tank alt is at an ilvl 353 or something, all gem, enchants, gear.. I can`t go into a ZG/ZA and with people doing 20k+dps, more on trash it`s pretty annoying that my most watched CD is my taunt. It`s not about "casual" it`s about something that is a problem for people in general, we`re not all bear druid crazy tank threat, and you`re just ignorant if you think "dur threat is already ez".
Wow. I can only imagine how much people will be mad about this. I think it's a good-ish idea though...
From past memories. 1. In BC on my quest only geared Frost Mage waiting for 5-10 seconds before launching a fireball (remember I'm frost spec and it had a couple second cast time) which hit the elite mob which caused him to turn off the tank and one-shot me. Seriously was I supposed to melee him to death with my staff or wait a full minute before attacking? 2. On my Rogue I had no problems with threat unless it was my own stupid fault. I like the idea behind it but wish there was a happy middle ground.
