I should clarify: I'm referring to the idea that DRK will create a net gain of new tanks somehow. I realize now that wasn't exactly the discussion.
People who like to tank like to tank, but it does take a very tailored sort of attitude to be okay with 1) potentially wasting people's time when you do something wrong and everyone dies and 2) being able to tolerate the implied verbal abuse that comes when you make those mistakes.
Fear of being called out and harassed is the biggest problem potential new tanks face, and "we" do it "ourselves." It's that sort of thing that makes folks who are intimidated by the notion and then do it anyway stand out that much more. Steel Wolf comes to mind.
Sorry for the derail.
