Actually that's EXACTLY what needs to happen. In no other MMO is healing such an afterthought that the community meta imposed dps standards on healers because they hate the role so much. It's the first step in demanding a more engaging style of healing. There's no reason for a dilemma between being forced to be bored, stand around with infinite healing resources, or bleed off into another role because mine isn't engaging in design. Cutting down on the ability to dps is the first step into forcing a more engaging healing role in future content design and addressing this glaring schism. This is the only MMO out there with such a lack of care going into healing. It's essentially 'go play another MMO if you enjoy skilled healing' and it really has no reason to be like that.
