I feel like this mentality is partly why I regularly end up on the floor in Bozja while tanking because if my party's healers are dead I often won't get so much as a regen from the other healers present.

That’s honestly more likely because it’s insanely hard to keep track of people outside of your own party. I’ll rez folks in other parties who I see on the floor, but I cannot see your party makeup, much less your buffs/debuffs unless I select you directly. Moreover, it isn’t even easy to select you directly in the first place (unless you’re who the boss is targeting), since I cannot use the function keys, the target selector on a controller, or click on you in an alliance list.

In an Alliance raid, I can see if most of another alliance is down, because I can see the list of jobs and little health bars next to each, and click one to select them. However, there’s no such ability in Bozja *and* twice as many people in a fight; I have no way of even knowing that those five people dead on the ground are healers unless I spot their weapons next to them (or they’re wearing distinctive glam), much less that three were the healers for a *specific party* who now need healing.

There can be up to 40 other people in a given fight besides my party and for all I know, that person at half health might have four healers in their party, a WHM planning to hit them with Benediction, an AST who has an Essential Dignity up their sleeve and is waiting for the person to hit 40% before using it... in short, I’m generally going to worry about my own party, and trust other healers to handle theirs.

Obviously if there’s only like 10 people alive in a fight I’ll try to keep an eye on other peoples’ health whether or not they’re in my party, but in general? If you are not in my party you are neither my problem, nor my responsibility; the other seven I’m partied with are. I’m not going to be selecting random other people mid-fight to see if you need Esuna or Regen or whatever unless my party is fine and you are clearly in significant distress.

Picking you up off the floor is not ideal, but it *is* the most obvious sign of “in significant distress” to draw the attention of a healer outside your party.
