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

[SerLuke]

Okay someone seriously hit the like button on the post saying they “HATE” the healer who only healed? Okay seriously I’m done, there is a serious issue with toxic elitism going on and it needs to be called out, this is not acceptable by any means.

Stop letting this cynicism grow and grow here on the forums, seriously it’s only serving to generate hatered on the forums, if other people’s DPS numbers are making you bitter and cynical, then please for your own sake and the sake of the community, STOP LOOKING AT THEM.

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.

I’m over reacting because I’m saying it’s not okay to hate people for not playing a video game up to par? What’s wrong with you?

"i absolutely HATE players like that" =/= "I hate that specific person personally"

You really need to quit justifying this crap

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.

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.

Sadly attitudes like theirs are just going to keep breading more and more negativity, it’s time it gets called out and directed, regardless of how a person is playing they should be treated with dignity and respect not hatred. Sadly cynicism and bad attitudes here are empowering people to be jerks and it needs to stop. The hyperbole around people not doing things perfectly making them out to be a burden worthy of hatred is becoming a cancer in the community and it’s only going to get worse unless it’s called out for what it is.

It is what also keeps DPS queue times long as well since people will be afraid to try non-dps jobs. Elitists never realize how their views affect regular people but think everyone is wrong and they are right after all.
