Stupid reason to report someone

Ok, so neither sides of the argument have made any ground, so let me settle this:

DPSing while healing is a stressful thing to do if you're new to the role. I get that. I was there. Every MMO healer has been there at some point. We get it. The game doesn't expect you to be a perfect player in the first couple dungeons of the game(sastasha, Tam tara deepcroft, and Copperbell Mines). This does notmean that you are incapable of contributing dps where possible however. It is like they npc in the hall of the novice says: "if you healed all there is to heal, then sling out some offensive spells" You are correct when you say you are not a dps, BUT you have dps abilities that you can utilize when you have the entire party above 85% hp. As a healer you take up the role of keeping your teammates alive and supporting them. How do you support a team that takes no damage? You kill the enemy faster! It will go outside your comfort zone most of the time, but you'll get used to it as you practice more. Its just like anything else. Grab a friend who plays a tank and run some of the lower level dungeons to practice this in more controlled scenarios where you are basically sleeping on a bed since you know your tank.

To those who don't dps as healers for the sake of laziness: Please, just stop. All these arguments about it to cover your laziness are merely your psychological defense mechanism to keep you from becoming stressed. Just admit you're being lazy and leave it at that. If people attack or try to provoke arguments then just ignore it.

To those who argue with lazy healers: Stop wasting your time. They made the decision and if you don't like it, then try to boot em if the rest of the party feels the same. If it fails, then get over it or eat the penalty.

The healer dps argument:
Healer DPS isn't forced, its learned. Stop instigating drama if people refuse to learn. It only hurts the community more. If a healer says "I don't want to dps" just do the above. Try the kick and if it fails, ether deal with it or eat the penalty. The community only loses whenever massive drama starts up over things like this.

As a community we are expected to teach the new players. Yes, the ENTIRE community is responsible for teaching, not just mentors. You want this game to have better players? Put in your share. If a player is struggling with something, ask them what they don't get instead of just eating the penalty. It may take an extra 5 minutes, buts its 5 minutes of your time to save the entire community another 20 minutes or more later.

If a person doesn't wanna learn, for the third time, do the above. It will most likely result in that player being excluded because they refuse to adapt and that's the choice they make. If they complain about it then its nothing but their own fault.
