I find being a Healer or a DPS to be much more challenging.
    It's their 15 dollars, but for the other three players, it's their combined 45 dollars that is being wasted. I guess that makes me an "elitist" because I want people to know how to press Flash or use 1-2-3 to hold threat in tank stance as a baseline of their braindead easy role.

    That said, Healer isn't any harder - there's nothing to do, so you DPS because there's too much downtime.

    Playing a DPS is the hardest role because the only way to prove your value is being repeatedly attacked in threads like this by people who pull 2k DPS in i350+ gear as a DPS.

    *shrug* like I said, their money, I could give a damn about their numbers unless it becomes a serious problem. That and only that is the time I ever speak up, unless someone else does already.

    But what ya expect? SE keeps making the same mistake of following the same path World of Whinecraft has done, and alot of high end content to be DPS races. Doubt they will ever change the formula up. Next expansion is gonna be most of the same, expansion after that, and expansion after that. They could start toying with making content very similar to how the new MH Crossover fight is gonna be but well, tbh with you they probably gonna save all that for their next MMO which will highly likely be True Action Combat, since the Technology is there now to fully support True Action combat. Honestly makes me excited to see what SE will do next for their next mmo.

    But, it will be hilarious if in their next MMO, it becomes a DPS race too. Haha.

    We've had the potential for TAC MMOs for years now, but they'll just make another MMO like this one or never make a new one because MMOs are a dying market. But I can guarantee you one thing, MMOs will always become DPS races because the best counter to mechanics is to complete it quickly.
