Healers not dpsing is not an issue it seems.

[Spiroglyph]

I would like to make a correction:

Most people don't care ENOUGH to warrant pointing anything out or potentially starting a fight and prolonging something most people would rather finish in a short amount of time.

Although I main healer (and I do personally love DPSing as a healer), I've been going as BLM as of lately, and most healers I've been teamed up with don't do damage. Now, I don't necessarily like this healing playstyle... but do I wanna be arsed with having to stop what I'm doing to be snarky about it? No. Do I wanna kick someone who might not be performing as I THINK they should and risk party disbanding and having to queue for another 30 minutes? Most definitely, NO.

I'm more likely to roll my eyes and keep going and toss my commendation somewhere else, if I'm being honest :P

What bounddreamer said is right, though. You can't conclude something like "people don't care about healer DPS" from a dozen dungeons... specially if they were from leveling roulette (OP didn't specify which roulettes, I'm assuming they did all daily roulettes for a couple of days).

As for the reason you say it took only a couple of minutes longer... well, there could be a number of factors affecting this

That's one of the main reason why people don't say anything. Saying something is risky, and the risk is that you start a fight and someone gets kicked. Worst case, the party dismiss and you have to queue again.
So, in the end, saying something might make you lose more time than it might save.
That's why people talk about that issue on the forums. At least, here, there's nothing to lose, and no risk involved. It's another story when you're actually in a duty.


Another main reason is that people simply don't watch what others are doing.

This describes me to a T. The only time I'm ever able to pay attention to what others are doing is when I'm healing. As a tank or dps, I'm far too busy doing my job to pay attention to the rest of the party's rotations. The only time I realize that something is up is if dps is just way too slow. And at that point, I blame the dps players. (Blame as in silently judge them while not saying anything). While healer dps does contribute to the overall speed of the run, I really couldn't care less if a healer doesn't dps. But at that point, healing is so damned boring that I wonder why a heal-only healer even plays the game.
