    Larkspur, there's some difference between my example and yours. The blm was level 50, had 15 arc to unlock blm, and had leveled acn as well, if the black mage was truly new as the ast claimed, they were using some other persons account. Also as I said, they were not even trying to communicate back, their performance was intentional. In your example, you are a healer, your main job as a healer is to heal and keep everyone alive, which you're doing, while the blm wasn't properly doing their job. To me a healer going into cleric stance between heals is a nice bonus, but is not your main job. A better example would probably be something like Nidhogg normal where all the healers would do is heal the tank while letting the dps die to unavoidable damage.

    I am inclined to disagree to a degree. For example, a scholar that keeps eos on sic while being on auto-follow. For many dungeons, that is, in fact, sufficient to do one's main job as healer. But is it acceptable? I think no, because that person is actually doing less than a DPS who only spams 1. And a warrior using only defiance, overpower and his aggro combo is no better player than a ninja using only poisons, death blossom and the dancing edge combo and consequently, should be treated the same, even though the prior will be able to properly fulfill his role's core function with that level of play.

    Might take longer, but all are fulfilling role.
