Wait, let me answer for you, you only want there to be blasters so you can be effective against tanks -and- infantry without actually having to fear other tanks as much. (This is a mildly self congratulatory post, I've officially taken out over 100 Gunnlogis and Madrugars since the patch with countless Sicas and Somas between  )
Personally, I don't mind Sicas being able to take me out, the thing that bugs me is the fact that it's so cheap compared to other AV options and then tanks themselves, I can get a sica with dual damage mods and I don't think it'll even cost me 100k, you'd have to lose 5 of those to get near the cost of my tank. I know people like to say ISK isn't a balancing factor, it still leaves me a little bitter.
Apart from that, any other tanks complaining are just bads and are complaining for the sake of complaining, and will only be happy when they can stomp without fear. Also, I don't believe a tank should be the only way, I believe LAVs should be able to kill us much the same as a scout can kill a heavy, it should take stealth, skill and some balls, but it should be possible (and looking at the numbers from a proto rail LAV, it might even be possible :D ), Infantry should also kill us, just not stupidly easy like previously.
I mean, the worst moment I've ever experienced was being a tanker in a Seraphim protostomp squad, someone mentioned an enemy tank, and I rub my hands together because Tank v Tank is fun, not a minute later crorat1 is on comms and just says "Done.", he tossed 3 Lai Dai AVs and was done with it. My entire playstyle felt useless and just became unenjoyable.

I know people like to say ISK isn't a balancing factor, it still leaves me a little bitter. So? As Kasote rightly pointed out, a militia assault is entirely capable of destroying a protosuit. Why should a militia tank be unable to kill a standard tank?
I haven't asked for a nerf or anything for militia tanks, well that's a lie, I asked for a CPU/PG nerf for all tanks, but that's all I've asked from, I'm only stating that it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, much the same as I'd feel if a free suit rocked up and managed to kill me in a proto suit, ya know? Don't take it as a sign I want militia tanks gone or anything, if that's the case you don't know me nor read my posts.
