Tactful ways to inform people that they're playing badly?

[Hyperia]

You're overreacting.
But please do go on about how its ok for a level 76 AST to only heal, and not use over half their kit, or how it's elitist to expect them to actually use divination, attacking spells, or cards.

Attitudes like this are the reason why I quit healing in this game. I used to login after a long shift and enjoy healing and relaxing. Now if a healer is not doing big DPS, compensating for people’s mistakes / laziness and more... there bad.

I play this game to relax. People are turning healing into a stressful second job where you don’t get paid. It’s time for people to stop harassing healers about DPS, period.

Expecting a reasonable level of play at a high level isn't an uncommon attitude to have.
"I play the game to relax" is not an excuse to only use half your kit.

You really need to quit justifying this crap

From what they said, I don't get what I'm justifying. it's sounds like a person who was frustrated that a healer wasn't using their kit. They even explained that they didn't start an attitude with the healer.

Goes to show how most DPS are bad that healer dps are vital to clear content. When I first started this game I was surprised that healers were expected to dps which makes the trinity job system kinda pointless. SE can't get rid of healer dps spells or they won't be able to clear solo msq content. Technically, they could just restrict dps spells in group content but meh.

healers being dedicated to only healing is a thing in games where most damage is unavoidable and mana is scarce, so they obviously are told to not waste it on damage spells because once they are oom it's a guaranteed wipe. In FF14, most of the damage is avoidable and nullifiable, and mana is infinite. So there is plain and simple no need for healers to preserve mana, so why wouldn't they cast damage spells while they don't hve anything else to do for a minute because the party is at full hp and not taking serious damage?

I mean enjoy trying to clear E2S at min ilvl without healer damage. It's impossible, that's a mathematical fact. So tell me more about how a Raid designed to require healer DPS to kill it means that DPS players are bad

Can't comment much on savage content as I don't do it but the fact from all the posts on here is that you people can't even clear it without 3rd party tools anyway. Cheaters looking down on casual players that just wanna have fun just irks me. I joined FF14 since it is mainly a casual themepark mmo and for the most part it delivers. The fact that SE had to change the TOS to prevent toxic players from bitching at players only proves you people are in the minority yet you guys are so vocal on the forums.

So asking you to not stand around doing nothing 80% of the time is now harrassment. Ok. If all you want to do is press a heal button every 60 seconds, I can as well take a bot with me, at least they won't roll for loot ^^
