Why was my thread about healer dps deleted?

It is understood that as things are now, there is no reason not to dps if and when you can, but DEMANDING it of others is the problem. As is requesting SE to make it further required and more complicated purely for more DISTRACTING gameplay.

I'm going to be blunt. A healer who refuses to DPS is entirely worthless compared to those who do. Even if the latter is only contributing a small amount. There is simply zero benefit or reason not to deal damage in this game, regardless of your role. Actively choosing not to means you're demanding other players accommodate your lack of effort. Why is it okay for healers to demand those expectations from others but it isn't okay for everyone to demand equal contribution from them?

No matter what excuses you make, DPSing is required to be a decent healer in FFXIV. That "fault" lies with the developers not the community for designing content which doesn't necessitate a primary focus on healing. Ironically, if they simply returned abilities like Aero III, it would actually make DPSing easier not complicated because the potency of healer nukes could be lowered, thus making it less punishing for healers. Especially for White Mage. Their insistence on healers primary source of damage all coming from a single GCD makes it significantly more punishing replacing said GCD with movement or GCD healing. Which only goes to further illustrate how little the dev team thinks about healer design and gameplay.
