Suggestion as to how to get people to become healers.

And this is where the issue lies: The double standard starts at the design level already.

What Yoshida is doing there is to expect DPS to pull 85-90% of their dummy performance potential in a live fight, while at the same time, asking healers and tanks to only pull 50-60% of their performance potential (conservative number).

This gap is what people ask healers and tanks to fill when they ask them to DPS as well. If the devs would ask healers and tanks to pull 85-90% of their theoretical performance potential as well, like they do for DPS

Sorry, I don't think you're being entirely open with your phrasing here. You're not asking for healers to hit 85-90% of their performance potential, you're asking for them to do double duty and hit that 85-90% of dummy DPS performance - WHILE HEALING. That requires the healer to be doing a bit more than just hitting dummy damage. If you want Healers to pull double duty in that regard, then IMHO DPS (including yours) need to be in the upper 90s percent wise vs their dummy performance.
