Yeah, MMO healer communities tend to have this dichotomy where people view them as either 1. Princess Teaparty, the one with the quiet voice on VC who's generally pleasant, hardly ever complains, and is just here to heal and glam or 2. Snarly Saltqueen, always complaining about everything and telling everyone to shut up and stop taking damage.

Problem is, neither of these stereotypes is conducive to being taken seriously. If the population sees you as the first, they just kind of...gloss over whatever you were complaining about because it was an anomaly. Or if you do it too much, they recategorize you as #2, and pfffffff 2 just complains about everything there's no reason to take them seriously.

I genuinely believe healer is the hardest role in an MMO to get momentum on just because most people don't care about them, so their mains' complaints get distorted by such perceptions.
