Dawntrail - Healer Expectation Discussion/Survey

[yoshinoharu]

Questions on the other 2:
1) It's more based on the situation. If you feel your time is being disrespected and that you don't stand a likely chance of clearing the content despite attempting to give advice (if you are able to), then it is not toxic to leave period, arbitrary time limit aside. That's kind of a skillset that's acquired through playing the game a lot though. As a general rule of thumb though, if the players are responsive to criticisms and help, then it is probably better to announce it and hit a 'vote abandon' rather than just leave. Just leaving should be reserved for the people that flat out ignore advice
2) Honestly for me back when I started healing in like... Heavensward? I just reflected on what I needed to do better. I identified my mistakes and practiced in order to resolve them.

On a sidenote here: I talked a lot about offering advice and help. I'm fairly thick skinned so I can do it more easily, but many players don't even bother these days because of highly toxic responses from players just flat out refusing to put in effort like it's some sort of personal insult to receive help from someone more experienced. I can wholly understand players just silently quitting if they want to offer advice but feel like it's not worth the potential 'you don't pay my sub' veined backlash.

edit: To be honest, there are some days where I just don't want the potential hassle either. Everyone has different tolerances for different things at different points of their lives.
