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

Raiders always expect the most out of every player and to use every bit of their class possible, part of raiding is being serious about maximizing what you can do. If you don't like that, that's fine, don't raid with them. You can even make your own FC with your own rules.

I'm not a raider, so you can please stop say that. Is it so freaking hard to understand non raiders wants to play good too? And maybe I dont raid since I never had time or had a group for it? NOBODY is EXPECTING people to MAXIMIZE!!!!!!

Wasn't speaking to you directly, that was aimed at the people raging about raiders requiring healers to dps since they tend ot maximize. I'm not a raider myself, but I still stance dance in all content where I can safely do so. I don't ask others to though, I have never heard another demand it either.

That's because the risk of starting a drama and losing more time that you'd actually gain is higher.
In short, it's not worth it. So, in game, people tolerate that kind of mediocrity because something worse can happen if they raise their voice. But it's not because nobody cares, as "pure healers" tend to think.

On the forum, the worst thing that can happen is getting a headache because of the amount of time you hit a brick wall of naivety and ignorance. So it's easier to try changing people's mentality here than in game.
