    You might be less bored with the game if you were playing actively (DPSing) instead of passively.

    I've been healing a9-12 normal regularly and the number one cause of wipes is the other healer does damage and puts all the healer pressure on me.

    I do not dps as a healer. It is a choice I make.

    Now I was doing a guildhest on an alt because i'm really bored with this game anyway and some dark knight goes and tells me to dps. I took it less than well and I told him off. Then he went off to tell me I was getting reported and proceeded to kill the stupid turtle.

    I am not having a good day.
    He can report you for not doing damage 24/7 and nothing will happen. If you start flaming him or start insulting him, he can report you and you will probably meet a GM in the GM jail.

    I literally stand around doing nothing when there's no OT stuff to do as an OT. It is a choice I make.

    Don't forget: "I don't move out of the telegraphs as a DPS. It's a choice I make." I mean.. their only purpose is to do damage right? Not to avoid/reduce the amount of healing they need. Those "I only heal." healers should be able to make up for it, right?

    I know a DRG who won't use Blood of the Dragon because "it's too confusing." I regularly out DPS him on my AST.

    What is the point in playing this game if you don't even try to optimize your gameplay?

    Now, hear me out. When you give it a successful try, you stop bringing conflict into duty finder.

    I'd like to share the best suited example from 2 days ago on my i215 scholar alt:
    43 minutes in-progress 60-roulette. I ended up in Fractal Continuum. They despaired because their healer had left them after multiple failed attempts at the last boss encounter, and they felt the DPS didn't hold up. I love these! I get bonus tomes and finish my roulette in 3-ish minutes. I don't think I left cleric stance more than once. Positive experience.

    You get the picture? Be the best you can be. Don't be like the healer that left duty. Be the one that came after and did things right. From dungeons to extreme primals to savage raid.

    Except it is intended by the game that you DPS as a healer - I've done the newbie-stuff on an alt recently and its basically telling you "Hey, if everyone is well, go and deal some damage!". You get all those fancy DPS-skills to use, not to sit in your hot bar as decorative elements! You're playing far from good when you choose not to make use of your ablities and skills - and no "Dont DPS if you dont feel comfortable" doesnt apply here when someone just flat out says "I wont even try because I dont want to".

    I'm sorry I have little sympathy for people not even trying and making runs longer than they have to be... and then snapping and getting all rude when you point out flaws that you really, really shouldnt explain to someone who reached level 60.

    As a tank I stop dodging and using cooldowns for healers who dont dps.

    Stop encouraging him. He did not get reported for not fulfilling a role, he got reported for verbally harassing the guy who mentioned it. He\\'ll never learn if you keep letting him think he was reported for another reason that may not be his fault or I his mind unwarranted.

    If he harassed the tank about he wont dps , its a good reason to report and no a stupid reason.

    Stupid reason would be get reported because no dps as healer and there wasnt conflit during the party .

    Good reason would be get reported for harassment or big conflit with bad words in chat or/and with emotes.

    Just for say : If u wont get reported by someone no harass them or talk to them bad. Talk with calm and respect. We are a community no ennemies.

    OP was technically griefing the party anyway by not DPSing (seriously, the game tells you to do help with damage during several points). When called out for his actions, he admittedly became abusive. Sounds like solid grounds for harassment reporting to me.

    You cannot take anything for granted, change eventually swallows everything you may try to immortalize.
