As you say nothing should be forced, i agree, but we shouldn't keep defending this style of play - the baseline should be of a higher standard when it comes to healing - being able to play your role to the fullest should be the standard, not the exception.

Yes, I am aware that all this is a silly thing to get to worried about given 90% of the content is pointless - but it's important to make the distinction between good play and bad - especially as the game is programmed they way it currently is.

Of course, all this may be subject to change in the expansion but I honestly doubt it.
Works both ways really. Why do people have to advocate to the highest standard in a video game?
People play this game for a miriad of reasons, ranging from competitive play to relaxing and passing time.


I get your point though, and there probably isn't a good/correct/complete answer that would satisfy either side.
