We're all DDs now >.>

At this point - everyone should play a true dps class as it seems 'damage per second' is all anyone cares about in roles anymore.

With how some people play this game thats impossible, theres a lot of dps who either lag or think they're tanks which causes them to have agro and almost die to their own stupidity. In all honesty people should be free to play the game how they want, and if people dont like it then thats their problem, they shouldnt be so elitist and expect everyone to play a certain way. They're not the only ones paying a sub to play this game.

If its end game content i can see how people are emo and start whining when people dont play to the same level as others. You only need to look at party finder to see the ones who are like that. a recent example of that is one that says "No failures, no bonus and I kick people who die with 75%+ hp left on boss"

That's because high difficult contents require a certain level of play.
And the only one going full emo are those ones who think that the latest ex primal or savage should be beaten by anyway regardless how good he plays his job.

Nope. If you're a BRD who gets outdpsed by a healer you don't deserve the kill, unless 7 people sign up for a free carry. But, well... there is a reason why a "carry" costs several million gil.
Even worse if it's a farm. Farming the latest ex primal should be a thing for people who can actually play their class.
If a NIN don't even use Huton before the pull it's time to look up a class guide first instead of a primal guide and call it a day. If you're a BRD who uses Manasong 100% the time (this was the one who was beaten by healers), the same.
Else you can wait until SB when you go as lvl 70 and free carries are the norm.
The "no Bonus" hints a farm, so I wanna ask: What is wrong in saying "I wann farm this with people who don't fail in the first quarter of the fight and understand the core of their jobs."?

Yesterday I was in a sophia kill with a co-tank not provoking, even after being told. Sure, we (or in that case the healers) can carry that. But this would make him able to join farm parties and no, just no.

And at healer discussion... a regen doesn't generate much more emnity than a tanks auto-attacks do. A tank who get's a regen after he hit all the adds once won't lose hate if he just does his normal thing: Gather them up, flash/overpower/unleash. A single one of those (or any single target combo, if it's a boss) and a 100% uptime regen can't steal anything from you, unless healer uses at least 2-3 Cure II's as well and you... stop doing anything?! Idk. xD

It's pretty easy to see why that is that way: DPS will always generate a dozen times the emnity of a single regen.
Why should a tank worry about an 2500 hp tick regen (generating half the emnity, so 1250 emnity per 3 seconds), if there are dps who should push out 2000-4000 dps (generating full emnity of 2-4k Points per second). It's 2000-4000 emnity/s from dps towards ~400 emnity/s from healing.

Especially as a WHM dpsing is the best thing you can do, because beside doing damage you get stunned enemies, which equals to about at least a 10k heal/shield in terms of mitigation.

But well... are peple really arguing with someone who kinda said that a fairy is smarter with her heals than he'd be as a regen-casting WHM?
