    Suggestion to reduce abuse.

    Regardless of role abuse is unacceptable. 2 things which would instantly remove much of the abuse towards players

    1. Provide healers with ability to flag an abusive player in the raid/party frames (tick box) If the flag exists then a status change to be placed on that character so that they cannot receive heals from the player that has flagged them, also possibly adding a graphic for all to see flag placed .. name and shame! is perhaps another option.
    2. Add a right click report facility for all players which would not only report the abuser but also send the last five minutes of the chat log so that they can instantly see on receipt details. It can be difficult to continue playing, taking screen shots and filing reports in instance while the abuse is rolling - this would resolve that.

    whaoo..I am curious to know what prompted this idea, maybe if you explained why you want that healers have power of life and death over the others by using a flag it would help understand and maybe people explain to you that maybe isnt such a good idea.

    Based on your proposal, I do not agree with this idea, healers are players like any others, healers are also all the other classes and jobs unless you want to flag a specific player and so discriminate a player (name) based on your likes and dislike? which is what it would end up with.

    But...I would really hear the reasons of such request

    First suggestion would change literally nothing.

    Second suggestion would be alright.

    2 is perfectly reasonable, but 1 is out of the question. Who says healers aren't abusive and/or can't abuse that?

    One is forced to ask what prompted these bizarre suggestions?

    Playing a healer or a tank you have to expect the blame from irate non-healers or non-tanks at times when things go wrong, having main healed in most MMOs I play I know that from experience. 'Abuse' is a nebulous word so since I don't know how you define it then it's hard to discuss this.

    There are too few healers and tanks primarily because of the abuse that they get, that said ive seen dps abused terribly too - It was more of a deterrent so that folks wouldnt feel they have a perogative to abuse players at all, perhaps it is that I had not thought it through sufficiently. Wow has a right click facility I thought that would help everyone to police our own community if it existed in ffxiv. I won't be getting into a verbal battle about it and won't be posting further on the subject.

    Idea number 1 will just lead to abusive healers, we have seen it all before tank is abusive, everyone leaves tank doesn't care because he will get straight into another party, it will be the same with healers, they flag characters for lulz, doesn't matter if everyone leaves they will get straight into a party again.

    Number 2, I agree with the right click to report, possibly with a window saying "Please select a reason for the report, cheating, spam, harassment" and it sends a copy/paste report. But you never need to screenshot anything. The GM team have access to all the chat logs on all the servers, So if you give a small overview of what happened including approximate times etc and they can pull up chat logs to see what has been said.
