But...I...I don't wanna DPS, I'm a healer...

The golden age of tank and healer only groups. Yay \o/

Seriously... First worry about dps players whose job is to do dps and yet quite often they do less damage than tanks and healers. Then we can worry about healers who refuse to dps. I know it is easy to think that the healer is responsible for slow dungeons , but as it is right now your average healer is still putting in more effort than your average dps player, so the blame is totally missing the correct target.

If everybody tried to contribute as much as possible that would be blissful.

Yes absolutely dps have more of an effect on that, I was never blaming healers who don't dps for slow runs. My point is that the line of thought people use to say healers should not dps is extremely flawed and a double standard they use to avoid any sort of accountability. It's an excuse to deliberately ignore a great deal of your skill set while expecting others to put out high levels of performance. They think they should have the right to be carried and only heal even when the vast, vast majority of this game requires so little healing it's pathetic. "As long as the content is cleared then who cares?" is the worst attitude to have and that is the reason why I listed some examples of what applying their double standard in a fair way across the board would amount to, which is made even stronger given the high simplicity of many of them (fists of fire for example, one button you press once and you never have to touch it again for an entire instance, which makes up a lot of your damage potential...and yet I come across people who literally refuse to use it even after being asked multiple times and multiple pulls later, as I give people a chance if they just didn't realize it themselves at first; I have even forgotten a few times myself and would be glad for the reminder).

you mean like him?

He already has his mind made up, this is extremely obvious due to his defeatist mindset displayed through his posts here. All he was looking for is an echo chamber.

Oh, so they really managed to ruin the game for someone, because you know, efficiency comes before fun and all that crap.

This is assuming that playing in an efficient manner is inherently opposed to having fun. Great logic there.

"Quit being such a tryhard waaaaah"
