I donno, like housing availability. Let's pretend instead of bringing up how healers aren't meant to do damage, every time you posted you talked about how hard it was for people to get houses in this game. I think that'd be more productive.
There is nothing wrong with housing in this game. If you make housing cheap for everyone, then nothing but bots will fill them up to flip them as another source of RMT. But that is not this thread.

This thread is about players not working well together because they do not understand their roles in the party and how the game is balanced based on those roles. The OP was mentioning how players who primarily DPS simply try to faceroll over everything in the game like the mechanics don't matter.

The entire thing blew up across the healer forums (in this thread, back here) because of something Yoshida said on 5-19 which runs counter to a popularly held argument over the healer's role in the party.

Now look at the tone 6 months ago:

And that is not even looking at reddit and 4chan.

Yoshi-P says Healer DPS was not taken into account when designing the content. "Healer must DPS" argument is completely demolished. End of story. That doesn't retroactively fix the game balance where players are trying to faceroll over content.

Do we throw more doors, keys and switches to slow down speedpullers? How about making the dungeons more about exploring and less about being a linear race to the finish line? How about making the trash mechanics AI smarter? Here comes a party with two healers, let's pick off the one not in CS since it will healing more.
