I'm just saying to prove my point, so many excuses being made when the lead producer clearly states.. its not needed. Being diplomatic has nothing to do with it.
Correction! Ice Mages do crap damage, but they still deal damage. We are allocated 90 minutes for a dungeon. Therefore, so long as it's completed within that time frame, it's technically considered "successful." As for tanks. If we abide by the holy trinity, they are only meant to hold aggro. I can do that spamming Flash. No other job can literally do nothing and still be considered good. In fact, last night I ran Dun Scaith, where my co-healer had the healing aspect covered to such an extent I did not turn off Cleric once throughout the entirety of the second boss and barely dipped out during the third or fourth; just brief moments to cover high aoe damage. If I had chosen not to DPS, I would have been 100% useless for that second boss and upwards of 85% for the other two. Would you call me a good player when I'll spend more time alt-tabbing or making dinner than actually playing the game because two dedicated healers simply wasn't necessary per my example?
