Idea to fix controversy about healer dps.

[MoroMurasaki]

Not everyone wants to play the game your way, and they are free to do that. It cuts both ways. If you don't like how people are playing, and are unwilling to deal with what you get in a PUG, then you're the problem.

It's group content. People are playing as part of a team. Giving 20% of the effort the rest of your team members are is bad, plain and simple.

Get over yourself, your entire perspective comes off as entitled to a ridiculous degree.

My parses in Rabanastre are around 95th percentile, WITH Pugs.

Same. But oh no, pugs are soooooo scary, they could never allow for decent dps uptime. Lol.

Maybe you should look in a mirror.

All I've said is that you need to stop demanding that people kotow to your playstyle. If the game had a way to "prevent ever being in a duty/party with this person" you'd quickly see all people making demands of other players blacklisted, and eventually everyone would stop seeing the others bad behavior, or be isolated.

No instead we have some very rude people who keep spouting the same complaints about PUG's, and the never-ending argument about healer DPS, despite Yoshi-P already said that there is no requirement for healers to DPS. Go look at the Japanese forum, the biggest thing they argue about is wanting to retool the SCH fairy.

So you're okay with a group where everyone else puts in similar effort and spends more than half their time doing nothing? Not bothering with cooldowns, doesn't believe in AoE, all that fun. They're playing the game their way, after all.

It would get very annoying if that's all that ever happened, but I'm not paying their sub, so they can play whatever way they want to play. If you don't want to be stuck with the bad players, that's what FC's are for. You may still get stuck with bad PUG groups for 24-player content, but there's no requirement to PUG any of the 4-player or 8-player content.

Personally, I don't see the need to "fix" the controversy.

I'm a dps-ing healer. My static expects me to do so and I enjoy it. If my static was against it, I'd either adjust or leave.
Likewise if I were a non-dps-ing healer, I'd try to find a group that was looking for such a healer.

Then there's "easy" content. I write in quotes because I personally despise when people call dungeons easy as how "easy" they are is so dependent on what kind of pugs we end up with.

That's the point that some people are completely missing. Just because it's "easy" doesn't mean you can just zerg it, or "watch netflix" as some idiots say. If you want to play the content and want control over the play styles, that's what the FC or forming a static is for. You're under no obligation to play with people you don't want to deal with that way.

You.

The whole concept is nonsense, the game gives you offensive spells. Who gets in a group and honestly thinks to themselves "I could contribute more, but nah, I'll just let these other people work harder instead". Pathetic.

Read this.

Every time you think about extending this stupid argument here is the only answer anyone needs to give you.
