I've been trying to find a guild or even a random PUG that needs a tank and I haven't even found one that's looking for one. Really, after 4 years running a FFXI linkshell I have zero desire to be a raid or guild leader but it seems to only way for a tank to get into raiding these days is to start a group himself. DPS cry all the time about long heroic queue times but I'd trade long queues for an easy-to-find raid spot in a second. Hell, I've transferred servers for guaranteed raid spots.
In short, there is very little room for a tank who enjoys tanking but doesn't feel like being a raid/guild leader and it makes me mad. (If your guild needs a tank PRZ TO SEND PM)
