Eeeh I don't buy it. Random healers were potentially every bit as bad right back in ARR. Have we already forgotten TitanHM pugs? Pre nerf Pharos Sirius? The difference is that now they've realised that it's easy enough to throw a few rocks vs just standing around doing next to nothing. This isn't even a healer exclusive thing. The difference is that people seem to lose their minds when they die through lack of heals because the clueless healer they got lumbered with is struggling to do much more than merely breath. DPS/Tank fails cause a wipe though? Reform or go again. People don't seem to get nearly as salty over it.

I don't get the mentality that healers should be immune from failure. It just strikes me as people expecting healers to be nothing more than pocket heal slaves, their own gameplay and enjoyment be damned.

ARR embraced pushing every role equally and had a genuine functioning difficulty curve as a result. Something we've just not seen since.
