Which is exactly what can happen. DRG levels to 50, picks up DRK, and joins a party looking to tank. How is this any better than someone who leveled a relevant class to 30/40 and then picked up DRK, like in my alternative? Or heck, how would it be any different from someone leveling ANY class to 30/40 and picking up DRK?
You're going to have the same issue no matter what level the original class was when the player picked up DRK, unless the original class was a tank. And then you only know the basic mechanics of being a tank, not how to play DRK. At least with my option, you're ensuring that X number of levels was at least spent learning the basics of the role. AND doing it without forcing the player to level a class all the way to 50 and complete the entirety of the MSQ up to 2.55 in order to pick up DRK.
