I tank, and have tanked since Uprising 1.2-1.3.
I picked it up in a random ambush match and had a great game, doing my best ever game of Dust on my new Adamance character back then at 11/0.
I had a blast, killed an enemy Soma, and enjoyed it so much I bought 100 hulls. It was a new playstyle. I was challenging having such low SP invested into the role and going up against much better HAV and players.
And eventually I enjoyed it so much/ couldn't wait for Amarr HAV to be deployed I picked up Maddy's and went to town with them.
Just learning to tank cost me well over 3 months of slogging through super powerful AV, enemy HAV, and my own ignorance.... and well over 100 Million ISK.
And by late 1.5 I was a passable tanker.
Late 1.6 I was scoring 40+ Kills a game, having a lot of fun, using everything I learnt over the last couple of months, on the last day of 1.6 scoring 32/0, 44/2, 52/1, etc.....
Then 1.7 Hit and Tanking started to suck......now I tank because its all I remember how to do.

But it brakes my heart to know that people call me scrub from time to time when I use my Maddy (which is not tripple repped). I have been tanking since June 2012. I have beent tanking longer than most of you. BUT I am not an expert at it. Considering all my low funds between E3 build to Uprising 1.8 I only ran tanks when I knew I could afford them instead of spamming them. Which was like 1 or 2 times a wee (if my tank didn't get blown up) Now I have 50 million ISk. Can't say Im rich but II can say I can at least afford them to call like 5 tanks a week.
If the rumors are true and we might get a full respec after fanfest and the new build is deployed. I will go full on tanking like back when I first statred in Dust. And that's if vehicles are balanced.
Tho I can understand how can a Soma/Sica can easily kill a Madrugar/Gunnlogi
I mean. The difference between MLT and STD is not that great. I bet when we get our ADV and Proto tanks them MLT tank spammers are going to which they'd never started such a horrible trend that killed the name of the tankers in Dust
Know the feels. I don't run the Triple Rep Maddies either.
