Why play?

When tanks don't tank, I let them enjoy a long time hugging the floor.

And you know what? That's a bad idea. Basically it's a lose lose situation with players that are lazy or don't do there job.
Let them die? Sure let me lay on the ground and afk till the battle is over than return and lot on loot. Oh you raised me? Back to afking or doing whatever I want.

Basically, it's the exact same outcome whether or not they're face down. At the very least though, you can kick them after if it isn't the final boss. It's really a matter of not supporting bad behavior in a lose-lose situation. In ST, when I heal, I never heal anyone that doesn't stand where they should (around your group). I am not going to chase after you on a fight like Scylla to keep you alive (because you just don't want to move from entrance), then go back to the rest of the group to keep them alive, and repeat. I would rather vote kick you after if you fail to catch on. There's often a very good reason why you'd be the only person dying while everyone else is topped off. And no, those players are not new to the game or raid when they have ST/WoD/t9+ gear equipped. It's generally easy to spot new players and it's easy to spot lazy/bad ones that should know better.

When it comes to healing, I've encountered a lot of healers that only DPS, expecting the other healer of the group to heal for them. Part of this is, I'd like to think, a result of everyone badmouthing players who heal but don't DPS. It should never be expected outside of pre-made or experienced conditions, simply because you don't know what this person is capable of. I'd rather people stick to their designated roles than them neglecting it to the ends of wiping the group.
