I wouldn't go too far as saying damned in general. But by bringing it to the forums, yes, that's true.

Simply because DPSing isn't mandatory. Definitely nice as a group as whole, but not something that would brand you as a terrible white mage/scholar if you don't DPS - Which applies to Scholar more often than White Mage.

The direct cause (more or less) of this whole argument lies in a different topic. A more recent one: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...g-damage/page8

It was basically the casual player base vs endgame player base. Long story short: Arguments frequently happen between these two groups with one bring brand as elitist, those-who-no-longer-have-fun or "spreadsheet nerds". It's almost like they're bringing in the high school community in. Where the kids who get good grades are being brand as "nerds" while the bullies are treated as celebrities.
