Stop queuing for PotD if you don't intend to DPS at all.

Right now, it's looking like you're choosing the forum option.

Healing is largely circumstancial, the ability to dps while heaing is even more so. Whether its easy or not depends on many factors. Someone like you expecting everyone to find it easy inevery instance may believe that a healer isnt pulling their weight if they dont or cant do it . Sorry I had tospell it out

Or is that you genuinely don't understand how this works? I suppose it would help explain your attitude if you thought we were all nuts for stating that you could seamlessly work DPS into your healing routine.

I undrstand comletely how it works. Im not sure others understand that its not so 'easy' to do. Resulting in healers being bullied into doing or trying to for fear of being booted out. Even when its clear to a healer that the instance needs heals not dps. As in thunda cat's case above. In this post people were asking if its mandatory in potd. I wasnt there I just saw posts about healers being idle if they dont dps. It isnt alwys the case but gives an excuse to complain I guess

I pay for my subs to enjoy the game not to be controlled by other people. You guys should chill about how others play

I pay for my subs to enjoy the game not to carry people who want to put in as little effort as possible. You should chill about how others play.

This isnt entirely true......I pay for my wife's sub. Which means I pay more for the game than you do, so you have to conform your playstyle to how I want you to play, or gtfo, :p.

On a serious note, please don't skew my words, Hood Rat. I was just pointing out the general attitude in the game regarding playstyles. Yes the argument can go both ways. However, it's mostly seen as if your not playing your class as a savage raider, you're garbage and going to be vote kicked.

You are right communicate. yet as I've said in this post multiple times if you have 3 healers all just healing you don't get anywhere. And sometimes when you say something to them they don't listen or they jump down your throat, because "they are healers they heal" which isn't always how it works in PotD. Everyone needs to communicate and understand what others are trying to say. This forum is a prime example of people not taking the time to understand what others are saying. Everyone wants to make the other party the bad guy.

The posts weren't about healers being idle in regular dungeons tho it was suppose to be about PotD. Which is different. You jumped in and made it about everything else. as I have said before your argument belongs more in the should healers dps or not type of forums. You also act like you are the only healer but earlier I said I was a healer too. the argument in this forum came from the fights of "I pay my sub I play how I want" and also of people assuming people were talking about regular dungeons which until you jumped in we weren't. Sorry but it's people like you that look for fights... Can you find anything else to complain about your argument is getting old... Go ahead call me a bully call the rest of us a bully it seems to be your only defense.

If the role is too difficult, then either practice in easier content or play something else. You are basically advocating people willfully accept someone else gimping a portion of their abilities because "it's too hard for them." In leveling dungeons or mentor roulette? Sure. I won't get on your case about lack of DPS contribution because those roulettes are intentionally designed for inexperienced players to learn. When you've reached Xelphatol or Alexander, you no longer have any excuse. Furthermore, I'll straight up comm any healer who at least tries to stance dance even if they panic out of it. At least they are putting forth an effort-- one I hope to encourage with commendations. It's the healers who flatout don't want to DPS that most people complain about.

How can you be complaining that most people here are selfish by saying

'It's a very common theme on these forums. If you don't play MY way, you're gonna get the boot! Stop wasting MY time. I have other more important things to do. You're dragging down MY game experience. '

When the majority of the player Base disagrees with YOUR inefficient and straight up bad choice of playstyle. Why don't you change? If anything, you're the one displaying the 'my way or the highway'
attitude as you're in the minority that believes healers should just stand there doing nothing.
