Should healers now be allowed to play how they choose to play?

we had a whm literally painting her nails during our run.

...Yet you still wouldn't kick for this? That is a blatant lack of respect for you and the rest of your party.

I have kicked and will continue to kick healers who spend their time knitting while using /follow on SCH, Netflix watching AST/WHMs, or those who join dungeons as a healer so they can get free tomes while socialising via Linkshells with zero regrets.

Sometimes I think this game more about friends, people,and having fun to some people and not always about watching numbers and seeing what other people are doing. Im sure that most people are doing their best to clear and some like having fun while they do it. Doesnt mean they arnt going to clear and some dont see it as a job, like being at work. If my team needs a bit of dps Im more than happy to do it for them If I can. Think you will get a better performance from people with patience rather than threats and orders anyway

...Are you seriously attempting to defend healers not even paying attention to the game now?. You are okay with someone using /follow on a tank or DPS and just going AFK? Joining a duty and painting their nails? The heck?

Not at all but Ive raided with people that are a little more casual about things, and in friendship groups thats sometimes how it is. Some of you here seem to always take my points to the extreme, like eg's of ice mage or the three button argument, and even if a fight only required 3 buttons spammed repeatedly then they are still 'active'. I guess I just dont get this resentment of 'Im working harder than you' bit about it because there's physical, activity and mental activity plus different types of pressure, I would say that healing has its own responsibility and its different from tanks responsibility. Not saying its more or less but some things cant be measured
