https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strike_action
"Strike action, also called labor strike, labour strike and industrial action in British English, or simply strike, is a work stoppage caused by the mass refusal of employees to work. A strike usually takes place in response to employee grievances."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boycott
"A boycott is an act of nonviolent, voluntary abstention from a product, person, organization, or country as an expression of protest."

https://www.dictionary.com/e/strike-vs-boycott/
"The key to remembering the difference between boycott and strike is to figure out who is taking action: the consumer or the employee? Workers strike against their employers while consumers opt against financially or physically supporting something as a way of peacefully protesting against it. Consumers boycott."

Healers do not benefit from their own fulfillment of the Healing Slot in a queue, they provide it. In this analogy, Healers are "workers", not "consumers", and the "employer" is SE/CBU3, providing design-incentives for Healers to exchange their time for other benefits (such as EXP, Tomestones or, hypothetically, "fun").

Non-Healer Players "consume" the benefits provided by Healers.

If other Roles refused to group with Healers, that would be a "Healer Boycott".

Actually we are not workers, SE is not our employer, we have no employment contract with SE, and we receive no renumeration for our 'work' as healers.


even if you consider tomes/exp as renumeration, you can argue we are paid to do nothing.
