Only DPSers and tanks can be trusted to clear, so they need to do the healer's job for them, because otherwise people might die."
"A healer dying and causing the party to fail from lack of healing will cause friction between players", ok.

But apparently a tank refusing to wipe in new content and forcing everyone to watch them solo the boss from 80% despite being asked to wipe and let the new people learn......doesn't cause friction between players?
