If you are tank and you're protecting someone that obvious that you deserve for medals. You will not do as big dmg as dps if you are focusing on protection. But why dps who will taunt a few times by pressing 1 button or sacrifice 10k points of his life deserve for 4 medals? After 30sec of play as protector he's not doing anything for protection and is focusing on dps to do 400-500k dmg. Taunts help but I'm helping also when I'm increasing speed or dmg of whole team but I'm not getting any medals for it. Maybe medals for protection should be similar as for healing or dps - higher level for medals but couted from whole WZ?
Medal for 5k dmg is very easy to get if you are guardian in focus tree (yesterday I saw new record in my guild from guadian force sweep - 6,4k dmg) or shadow tank (here are even bigger crits). My friend vanguard also have it in almost each WZ - I'm just not sure what ability give it to him because I never asked him about it.
It's also unfair for pure tanks who are focusing on protection and will not get as many medals from dmg as tank dpses.
I'm just trying to say that as tank dps you can easy get medals for both tank and dps (maybe except 50k protection) what is impossible for pure dpses and pure tanks. I just want to have possibilty to get same number of medals. Keep this 4 medals but give same number for other players also.
