    I assure you, DPS aren't immune to merciless criticism. There are whole discords and streams where people are quite blunt with their opinions. Just because you can't mention parses in game doesn't mean people willing to bully won't find ways around calling someone out. In fact, DPS are often the first target in EX or Savage PFs. What you'll see is something like "Do I need to like job guides?" or "Do you even know how to play <insert DPS>?" or other passive aggressive remarks which GMs won't do a thing about. And most of the time is plain hyperbolic. I have played this game for two years now, leveling every single role but mostly favoring DPS and rarely see anyone openly ridiculed unless it's a consistent mechanic issue, which is not exclusive to DPS.

    Healing is stressful when you meet a bad tank, and you find plenty in the DF. I do not like playing healer with bad tank most of all, then comes tank with bad DPS, along with healer in such a situation esp when they don't AoE/RNG LB a megapull. it is frustrating, I rather play DPS and make fast runs happen more often.
    As do I, however I "main" DPS jobs. A career tank isn't going to abruptly level DPS before their tanks nor will they stay on DPS once they've reached max level. What you're saying has nothing to do with my response.

    What does this have to do with anything? An EXP bonus after certain queue lengths only effects players who are still leveling. It has no impact once you've reached 70. If you find healers stressful while leveling, you'll find them equally stressful at max.
    ------

    Regardless, I hope no one here complains about PotD leveled players. The reason DPS flocked towards it was due to insta-queue. That will happen again the moment the new version releases even if it offers less EXP than Stormblood dungeons.
