Here's the stark fact neither side would want to admit. But fact is fact despite anything they say, do, or feel. The DPS is the responsibility of whomever the group decides. Each group is different, so the responsibility varies from group to group.

Its that simple. If you're a healer that only heals, and the group thinks you should do damage. Damage or kick. If the group thinks you should only heal, Don't Damage or kick. Its a dictatorship of the majority and majority rules. Period. No amount of discussion, no amount of threads, no amount of hurt feelings in these forums will change that fact.

You only get a say if your group agrees with you. Otherwise its do as you're told or leave. That's the fact.

I've got my own opinion on the matter. Probably even agree with most of you here. But guess what? Even my opinion is eclipsed by the fact. My own opinion is irrelevant to the fact. And so is everyone else's.
