    DEV Request - Please add extra search options to DF

    It would be nice if we could have some search options added to DF.
    This could go from wanting a healer to dps or not, having a tank stance dance or not, etc..

    I request this since I got kicked twice from a DF expert roullette.
    Once because i dpsed as a healer, they complaint that the tank went to low in health (never under 30%, just once, because tank took aoe damage, which is not my fault). I told them it would be nice if the tank uses his def cd on big pulls and selfheals (it was a war).

    And then the next run I got kicked because I didn't dps, they clearly told me: Bye healer since you don't DPS.

    In the end I really don't know what to do, in the next party I asked what they want me to do, complete silence...

    So extra option selections to DF might help with this randomness of crapiness

    This is not usefull...

    1. There is no mechanic who forces you to do the praised option, like dpsing healers or stance dancing tanks.
    2. It would lengthen the que times.
    3. Fo such things is PF, cause you are searching for a special kind of party. DF is for searching a duty, however the party is. So you could ask for an option to search for specific party composition in DF.
    4. You just got kicked for retardness of others and this can happen in the extra options too.

    People would just figure out whatever option queued the fastest and queue that regardless of how they wanted to actually play.

    Try being more adaptive to your party's desires and less uncooperative and you may get kicked less. *shrug* I'm not saying either side was right, just that, if they ask you to do something or stop doing something, maybe listen?

    Part of the problem is that the game design is a bit to free form with things like this, so the player base is able to make their own meta about how classes should be played. You'd think that'd be a good thing, and it is, until players start disagreeing with each other. I think SE needs to kind of make it clear (in-game) whether Healers (or tanks), should be dpsing or not. The player base isn't in agreement obviously, so we can't leave it up us. The game itself needs to say, yes you DPS or no you don't. How to accomplish, I have no idea, but the devs could really help out.

    Or we could all just be nice to each other, I dunno.

    One option to eliminate the healer shoudl/should not dps conflict would be to remove all damage spells while in dungeons/raids/primals.
    No discussion if the healer should dps because he can't dps.
    To give healers more to do we could give them a number of support skills turning it more into a healer/support class.

    I'd drop Scholar (and Astro and WHM) like a hot rock if they took away my ability to DPS.

    Or maybe they like healing but want to play their job to its full potential?

    Removing dps abilities wouldnt work anyway, holy and assize are both healing/dps abilities.
