Eh, that's somewhat circular...
This is only a problem because
- The world you are thinking about is designed around "levels,"
- The "warrior has to tank for the group to accomplish anything" model
- Everyone has to pull their weight or xp will suck.
- Designing an advanced LFG tool that could gauge party/person effectiveness is beyond the capabilities of MMO designers in 2006/2007
