feast ranked question

I'd say if people complain about you queueing up as a healer, then just don't queue as healer. You'll have a lot less stressful time as anything else, and I'm sure the vibrant PVP community has enough healers already.

There are actually less healers than anything else

I'm pretty sure that was sarcasm.

"Vibrant" is not an adjective one would use to describe the PvP community...

Pretty sure his sarcasm was directed at the PvP community being Vibrant, not that there were enough healers in it.

A mystery that will perpetually remain unsolved until the author clears things up.

Personally, I'll be giving a person who regularly visits these forums the benefit of doubt to know that healing is rather unpopular in the Feast. And while it may or may not be intended, there's a juicy irony between feast players telling someone (the OP) to stop healing, the advice to comply to that, the fact that healing is the least popular and the claim that the feast has enough healers already. It lines up very nicely to a sublimal message that feast players partially have themselves to blame for the fact healing isn't popular when they tell people who are trying to get into it to stop healing - a message that would require the knowledge of healer popularity. And could such a message be intended by the same person that once wrote this?

I love how the PVP community simultaneously whines about queue times, and that new players dare to queue up in the first place.

Could be coincidental. We'll neeeeeeeever know.

Oh yeah my bad, I forgot to go digging through the guys post history before replying. Silly me!

That just about sums it up! Sarcasm to illustrate the irony of the situation.

In all seriousness, one could play on less stressful classes and pay attention to what the healers on both teams do, and what orders are given about healers to learn some things about how the role is played without being told to uninstall the game or kill themselves.

Healers have instant pops and melee and ranged have long ques. Everyone is waiting for a second healer to que, the match will not start without him.
There are more than enough healers in PvE, but nobody wants to heal in PvP because of constant toxic environment, and even the best healers are flamed and insulted for everything even if it's not their fault.

Don't generalize, I don't queue my healer sometimes because I can carry harder on melee and ranged. Healing at a high level is super stressful and on our datacenter the skillgap isn't that huge minus 1 or 2 healers. Better to just play melee, relax, and carry. Letting someone die and getting "flamed" for it rarely happens after you've healed enough. When it does happen, it generally comes from the b4b popping ninja. It seems as if you had bad experiences and just assume everyone has had the same experiences. Even when I picked up healer at 1300 and dropped alllll the way down to 700, I rarely got flamed.
