People complain about DPS doing terrible DPS as well - bad DPS is everywhere, but what you guys are doing is putting healers on a pedestal and thinking healers don't deserve criticism for not putting effort.

It's funny you say you "don't give two flying F's" about how people play. I would love if you always got paired with braindead, 1 button spamming DPS and a PLD that only used Flash in all of the content you do. The DPS is DPS'ing and the tank is holding aggro, so everything is fine in the world right? I'm sure you wouldn't mind 45+ minute long dungeon runs for every dungeon or always meeting enrage on Ex Primals/Savage.

One of the main reasons people seem to have more issues with healers not DPSing is because it isn't just a matter of doing your rotations wrong/sitting in tank stance all the time. It literally means you are not pressing any buttons while you could be contributing to your group. Again, no one is asking for all healers to pull 95th percentile numbers in all content. No one is asking healers to have perfect uptime/CPM. No one is asking for healers to DPS on a terrible group where people keep dying and there's a ton of extra healing to be done. But deliberately choosing not to contribute/press buttons is just a display of terrible team play.
