I'm sorry, but this is just flat-out ignorance. There are enemies which can deal 40% of a tanks HP in a single cleave, there are AoE's which can blast everyone in range with 3-4k of damage. If you have never experienced either of these, then you simply aren't qualified to continue your argument.

You can't always just 'afk' as a healer, even with Asylum and Regen, because there are plenty of attacks which will catch you off-guard if you're not careful. As a white mage myself, I've learned when to expect them and how low I can safely let a tank go before I need to swap stance and heal. I've also gotten used to quickly swapping in and out in an unexpected emergency. I would NOT expect everyone I play with to be able to do this, and nor should anyone else.

It's attitudes like this which drive people away from the job, and away from the game. If no one's dying and you're clearing the content, why do you even care how they play?
