Is DPS'ing as a Healer Vote Kickable?

[Sylve]

This is extremely bad logic. Doing the 'just good enough to get by' doesn't make them good. It makes them Passable. Students don't bring home D's on tests and get told "You did just good enough to get by! You're such a good student!" Doing just enough to pass, is mediocre at best. And as a community, we shouldn't strive for mediocrity.

Clearly you don't live in Australia, where schools are discouraged from using letter grades on schoolwork for fear of hurting the feelings of the other kids who didnt do so well.

You are correct that we shouldn't STRIVE for mediocrity. But you're playing an MMO, Not everyone is going to be playing as seriously as you clearly are.

Some people strive for perfection. Others are content to be merely passable. People are different. You will encounter 'casual' players who don't play with a bleeding edge progression mindset. Just accept that there will be times when your run will take a few minutes more than others.

I'm not telling you to accept it as the norm.
I'm only asking you to tolerate those who aren't as good as others you play with, as long as you can still clear the content with those players, does it really matter? A win is a win. A dead boss will drop the same loot if killed 1 second before hard enrage as it would if you had killed it 10 seconds after engagement.

If its going too slowly for YOUR taste, you are actually free to leave the duty yourself and try your luck on the next DF group.

DPSING as a healer is part of their job, as i already said the game has been designed this way and if you want an ingame-clue try the hall of novice.

Except the Novice Hall doesn't say that.
The Novice Hall simply informs a potential new Healer that when they're not required in their primary role (Party hp full etc), they can in fact apply some DPS.

Essentially, the game is telling you that its ok to help DPS, But Healing comes first.

Being encouraged to do a thing is not the same as that thing being enforced.

Did anyone say anything otherwise? The pro-healer dps camp, really want healers to heal as well...we never said NEVER HEAL.

./sigh. That statement is a reply to a comment about the Novice Hall.
Please, read and understand the entire post instead of picking a single sentence and taking it out of context.

Sure, lets a do a 30+ mins run when you can do it in 15 min. In one hand you have the healer that just learned to play a healer in this game, in other hand you have the slacker that don't wanna play the game and is actually a bother for 3/7/23 other people, great.

(not gonna mention people that are least trying, they just need practice)

AutoWhit, how about you tell us what is good about standing and donig nothing. Please. How does this help the party?

This gonna make my day, do it please.
