:THONK:

And probably a small percentage of players that force randoms in roulette's to this idea is probably why healers get less and less. If you are playing with friends or a group that is created with a goal a certain detail to attention and skill is to be expected. If you random it if they can breathe and press 2 buttons that is a success.



When will this community learn that SE punishes the players that demand more from random groups. If people would keep their mouths shut maybe healers wouldn't be gutted. But you get a healer that isn't dpsing enough and then someone has to make the situation more miserable.



I would like to see more buffs and debuffs. Which would be a different type of dps increase. But we would end up the same situation where players can't keep their mouths shut when random group gets a scrub and SE nerfs it to one button.
