Yoshi P to Mr.Happy "Heal DPS is not mandatory and no expectation for Healer to DPS!"

[MomomiMomi]

Too many players in this game treat the game like some kind of job or chore where every second is 'money' and if you take a minute more on a dungeon than expected, it's the end of the world and everyone else is just 'terribad' because of the extra minute.

Time is a person's most valuable commodity. Most people don't like having it wasted.

Pandora's box is opened once more. Lazy to read the whole thread but i assume it's the same shitshow, different section.

Always the same thing everytimes, you have the extreme that're so stuck up about healer dps or people that don't play to "their level" that they're abusing the kick system just because they can and then you have the other extreme that are hellbent on not dpsing even with Stormblood making it even simpler to do so, but decide not to because "its not their jobs" or in that case, because YoshiP said "its not expected of Healer to DPS". Both sides are just laughable.

At least there seem to be quite a few neutral folks, good.

The simple point of view here is the best. Everyone play to the best of their ability and do what you can to support the team. Assume everyone else is doing that. And as Bill & Ted taught us many years ago, be excellent to each other. I mean really, it's a game we're meant to play together, cooperate and enjoy the result, why does it have to become so adversarial?

Then stop playing video games which are by definition a waste of time.

This thread has probably come full circle every twenty or so pages.

Essentially, Yoshi-P's stance does nothing to change the meta.

People who don't DPS are likely to continue not DPSing (in spite of the fact that it is more streamlined as of 4.0), and they will occasionally be kicked. Some people will accept a vastly sub-optimal playstyle while others will not.

So long as vote kick continues to be a function in the game, people will decide with their votes on a party-to-party basis.

Games aren't a waste of time though, not any more at least; I find that definition to be rather archaic.

Aside from being capable of benefiting a person mental health through the socialization aspect that most games have nowadays, people can make rather meaningful relationships. I've personally met a number of people whose social connection can actually benefit me professionally as we study/work in the same field through playing games. Building these social relationships can be very beneficial in more ways than one and should disqualify game from being considered a waste of time.

Make sure you read those definitions and understand that by definition, you are being egotistical and deliberately misconstruing the definition of Elitist to suit your own ego.

Kicking a healer for NOT dpsing is the most deluded and MORONIC thing anyone can do and deserve to be reported for harassment.

Dpsing is OPTIONAL get that right in your head.

[SenorPatty]

Here are the facts:

The game creator gave an opinion and not a rule

Thus the playerbase can accept or deny the opinion.


People acting like Word of God is an absolute. kek.

..... Allowing oneself to have leisure activities is not a waste of time. Allowing others to overly influence the value you get out of that commitment is a waste of time.

No, it is justified as being a difference in play style. It is like kicking a DPS for only going 1-2-3 over and over, ignoring a proper rotation or a tank for pulling every mob from beginning to end. Healer DPS is optional, but it is intended. You have the right to not DPS as a healer, but in return others have the right to kick you for not DPS'ing as a healer. If you want Healer DPS to be optional, those are the terms you must abide by.
