Speed run etiquette

Okay, so it's just another thread complaining about a bad type of player. They exist, let's get over it. Refusing to heal due to a tank running away before buffs is silly to me. What sense does it make to combat bad game play with more bad game play? I main scholar and on the rare occasion I'm on a truly terrible team I'd rather just leave then stand there and let people die to teach them a lesson.

I'm going off on a limb here, but I do believe that with OP refusing to heal the players and intentionally causing wipes is in fact griefing the group which goes against the ToS (maybe not ToS but I know its reportable and punishable from what I've read). So what OP is doing by healing is actually worse then what the other people in the group are doing.

I love those tanks that do a mass pull of everything when the dps are a mnk and a nin. That is a dead flag right there

I'm not a big fan of "Educational" non-healing, but the GMs treat that sort of thing as a "difference in play style" and it's probably not going to go anywhere in a complaint. Especially when there are completely legitimate reasons for a healer to de-prioritize healing someone, even a tank.

I've had the healer I run with stop healing the tank and focus on the dps and herself in runs before when the tank wasn't holding threat, was standing in things, and wasn't popping CDs to mitigate damage. It's rare, but it happens.
