Anyone have a clue as to how this will be implemented?

Will it be WoW style where most each class has some ability? Or will it be Everquest Enchanter 'esque where one class has a potential to master it. And if it is something any class can do, will it be possible to specialize to the point where you become the designated "crowd control guy" for each raid/instance?

I'm writing in the vain hope that I would be able to design a toon fully around the CC role. Ill take the attack and offensive power hit gladly, just as long as I am able to park mobs (and players) galore.

Too early to tell

/siiigh... okthanks

There is CC and obviously some others but every class will have skills to combat CC like stuns. Knockdowns, interrupts and blocks come from using stamina, this is how a warrior type character will tank.
