I don't think you understood what I was saying. I was basically saying that the reason these threads pop up is that some healers do make excuses for not DPSing and usually those excuses are really extreme. So some people literally are asking for a pass to purposefully idle while the rest of the team actually has to keep actively playing. The excuses are the problem. If a player just cannot play properly due to a disability or unskilled or new then okay, but that isn't the dominant reasons I come across.

Also in my 4 years of playing I haven't seen a healer get kicked for doing no DPS in content outside of savage. In my opinion it is questionable how frequent it occurs. People try to make it into a rampant problem, but unless you can prove it is a rampant problem without just personal experience then that line of reasoning falls flat.

As for the rest of your post. If any of that is directed towards me then I suggest you read my previous posts in this thread (like the one I linked in the post you just quoted), because I do ask healers politely or make suggestions. The issue comes into play with the responses I've gotten just from simply asking anything of them or trying to help them.

Also your whole argument about confidence is kind of not pertinent to what most of us are talking about. Most of us discussing here agree that if a healer is obviously new or even newish and less skilled then we aren't going to be irked they aren't DPSing. We would try to help them maybe, offer advice, etc. It is the healers who make illogical excuses for not DPSing or the "it's my sub I play how I want" healers that are the problem. I never said that all healers are in that category and neither did most of the people currently posting.
