'Faking' the Trinity?

[Blamblam41]

Because it's easier to balance encounters around very specific roles instead of trying to tune it to a thousand mishmash hybrids.

Only 1% of the players even experience the encounters where that is even applicable. I fail to see how putting so much effort into balancing the game for such a small amount of players benefits anyone when the vast majority of players sit at significantly lower item and skill levels.

Face it. Balancing this game for the majority of people that actually play this game is goddamn fucking braindead simple. The problem is making it work for the spreadsheet dipshits and the simulator tryhards.

but since we are only in for the ride because of a quick dungeon you plough through, the tank doesn't and shouldn't give a shit about the three dps. he is equally arrogant and lets them die with a „lol noob dps“ as much as a crappy melee runs in front of a tank and pulls.

for heroics and myth normal, let people join quicker and with maybe more dps.

People care about heroic and base mythic at all? Seriously? You can solo them on non-healing cloth classes.

There isn't tho. Just they don't want to bother with the toxicity of LFG/R.

LFG/R players played themselves.

My experience with with LFG/R is that people are silent as the grave, finish the job and bail group quickly. I find that the people who experience a lot of toxicity are the ones bringing it.

Unless there is a wipe. Then the shitfest begin.

Waiting on a tank or healer in LFG .. So why can't we 'fake 'the role with stats/templates? Not saying make the trinity completely irrelevant, rather if a specific role is not available after X min, allow a DPS specs to tank and heal?

This would need the DPS player to opt in of course, but after that and when said player accepts and enters the group, use template to buff mitigation (and lower dmg?) Same goes for a DPS class with healing, template the hell out of it so it can heal?

I might be using wrong 'words' to describe the idea though I hope at least it came across clearly?

If players wanted to play those "rare" roles, they'd choose them in the first place for shorter queues. This is a total nonissue.

LFR and LFD will be toxic for as long as the content is piss easy, if the people actually have to work as a team rather than separate units, then they will turn their approach around pretty quick... Or forever be stuck at nothing done. I've seen this in plenty of games, it's true that "a little kindness goes a long way" and improves your chance of success when you have to deal with people.

I always felt like they should do 6-7man dungeons with 1 tank 1 heal 4-5 dps... Would help dps queue times.

Yeah I've said that back in LK. It would be a very simple solution.

Well, you do see this quite a bit in heroic dungeons, dps plate wearers will just tank as ret or frost (big ilevel, so their aoe is enough to hold agro and shit dies so fast) or you'll get an elemental shaman or lazer chicken that'll throw some heals.
