Healers that don't want to DPS are like DPSes who refuse to move out of AoEs.

But that's wrong, they chose a class to only use part of its kit. May I ask what is fun for you? how is pressing a key on a target for healing purposes different than pressing a key on a target for dps purposes? unless your answer is "so they do less", which is basically the discussion here.

I never said it was me. I acknowledged that some people don't find entertainment in DPSing and choose to play a healer for this reason.

If you don't find a job, in it's entirety, fun, don't play it. If I don't like pets, I don't pick SMN or SCH. If I don't like to support, I don't pick BRD or MCH.

It's not any more acceptable for a healer to ignore the useful abilities in their toolkit than it is for any other job. Healers shouldn't get a free pass just because they're called healers. They should be expected to participate just as much as the rest of their team mates and they should be expected to use their abilities in a way that's as useful as possible to their group just like everyone else in the party.

That's not a very good comparison. There is no alternative to play if you don't like DPS. Healer is the only job that fits that role. If you don't like pets and want to DPS, there are other options available to you.
