Stop telling healers to go play dps

[Limonia]

I find it hard to find sympathy for people in this regard being that people were telling healers to "go play another game" if they weren't DPSing for all these years.

This was said to those kind of players that claimed it is alright to only stand around pressing a heal button like every 15 seconds because they came from a game where there was far less downtime between healing needed and they needed to manage their resources more. Those players often even encouraged others to also just be idle while the other party members actually farmed their loot for them. It was the unwillingness to adapt to a game that is kind of designed differently than what they were playing before.
Because it is a FACT that there is a lot of downtime between healing needed, and because it is so EASILY possible to mostly heal with oGCDs and some (buffed) GCDs, playing a no DPS healer is highly inefficient and also disrespectful to your team. It is selfish to let others do all the work for you while you just follow around and press one or two buttons here and there (or spam the heal button which is actually the same because you don't contribute much more). It works in other games, but not in this one. This is why those people were given the advice to play another game, if they only want to use healing spells and still be useful, efficient, not a burden and respectful to your team.

I do fully understand why people only want to heal when they play the healer role. Even though I like to do both healing and DPSing, I still get what they mean. But in this game it just doesn't work out that way.
