Dear Healers who don't DPS

[Vyriah]

You also made fun of someone for not spelling Charybdis correctly; you claim it was a joke, but sorry it wasn't funny and after your tirade of swearing and calling people stupid all it did was look really rude just like the rest of your post.

Uh ? I was making fun of people like OP and such that call people lazy and incompetent every two post or something, not the post I quoted. I though it was pretty obvious I completly against calling people names for their performance in video game, or even spelling for that matter (in case you didn't notice, i'm master degree on typos).
Charybdis is a greek sea monster that has been rumored since ancient times to make everyone misspell its name at the first read. I'm not mocking any one on this, but once you know that it's something outside of the game it's easier to remember it.


But eh, if you're going on that field, isn't hypocrisy noticing just now that someone accused someone of being lazy while it's written in the very first post of the topic ? So, because it's not coming from the crowd shouting at your back, it's suddely revolting and you have to point it out ? I don't see where you're trying to tone down this, outside of saying "different playstyle" as a figure of speech to say "lazy healers". You're still advocating kicking them out of you're party. also, it's now really hard to hide that it's the only point of this thread by now, everynow it's illegitimate no matter how hard you try to convice yourselves and your building rhetoric and sophistics to justify it anyway. You don't do 35 pages of text about something obvious.

The reason I answer to what you're saying, and what was said before, it's because you're all using social stereotypes to make your point. More precisely, the social stereotypes about poverty (lazy and incompetent). Add to that the insane focus on efficiency and kick people out of the structure if they don't meet the standard and it's easy to see that people saying the kind of thing you say assimilate to game as a job. What you're talking about in that message is that would be a unspoken contract between players to play in a precise way, but that's not the case. that would be righter if we were talking about PF, when there's one person stating conditions and the one joining them should agree to them. But one for people are assembled at random, there's no such thing and what you want is what you want.
If you want High DPS, do high DPS. I you want to only do heal, you only heal. But you can't force that guy next to you to do what you want to do. You're convinced that they should do something else ? Trying telling them about it. Mostly, they'll find you annoying because that's how it looks to give random advices to strangers. If you can make a point, maybe some one is gonna listen to what you say and that's it ? There's no discussion about this actually.
But even better than having expectation out of other player, try to let them learn. Because learning the game is playing the game.

tl;dr leave people be.
