I am all for the dps of healers it adds to the class is much better than standing around all day, but like it not healers cover more than unavoidable damage they have to cover the mistakes too. There is a noticeable subset of healers that don’t understand this. Perfect runs are great, but let’s face it they don’t happen every run.
There are also Monks who refuse to do any positionals, Red Mage players that use Vercure regularly to play a more traditional Red Mage, and Tanks who don't use defensive cooldowns. So what? There are ALWAYS going who either intentionally or unintentionally play incorrectly to an extreme degree. Nothing SE will ever do will stop this because you cannot micromanage people in an online setting. Sterilizing the game in an attempt to mitigate any frustration caused by these types of players means we're forcing every else to ride with training wheels, and I would argue, doing far more harm than the 6 players that are going to give you a bad roulette run in the next year.

Can we please stop pretending that extreme playstyle players are some menace that's ruining the game?
