Healing bots in raids

[Alisi]

Also, most raids tend to be unsynced and healers can heal through the AOE's/mechanics a lot of the time.

In general people just stand around also because raids can be boring if you do one too many times or are unsynced and it is very easy.

I'm not talking about these times. I'm talking about synced stuff. Nor am I talking about standing around because you can take the damage. I'm talking about scripted, repeated movement that makes no sense. It's one thing to stand in an AOE that'll do dmg enough to kill you when you're unsync -- you'll survive it. It's another thing just to do the same thing over and over and stand in that AOE that just killed you 10 times before while all you're doing is casting stone.

Uh why do people even care? Vote dismiss then report.

Because it's my time and I'm carrying them? And more parties aren't aware enough to go with a vote dismiss.

I've seen scholars pull out their fairy and set follow on a dps, and then do nothing...

This is a horror story unlike anything I've ever known. For some reason I pictured it happening in Rabanastre of all places.

I see it a lot more often in levelling roulette than anywhere else, honestly.

I ran out into a SCH that was doing this in a low level dungeon.

I asked them nicely if they could actually play so that the dungeon would go faster for everyone, but they got cheeky about it, so I kicked them.

Just out of Deltascape 2 - seems a group of newcomers decided to join this one particular time. My co-WHM was quick to write out tactics after a wipe (seeing as people didn't use the lift-mechanic to share gravitation damage on the two healers). However, said tactic-spewing WHM didn't throw a single stone or DoT for the entire fight afterwards. Not only was I maintaining my DPS rotation (I was a stern advocate of Cleric Stance in the past), but keeping the entire raid topped up and had to raise at least 7 times -- meanwhile, I think I saw them casting MedII once in a while and possibly some CureI's.

It's upsetting to know that even with Cleric Stance now gone (RIP), some people are either too scared or too lazy to even throw out some Aero's at the very least. The Netflix angle is a poor excuse - if you're not entertained enough by the game itself, then why log in? Log out and go watch your movie - someone who actually enjoys using a class to its fullest would be welcomed.

I saw this with a healer not too long ago. Well either they were a bot or was watching stuff on the side and didn't give a crap, they definitely were not new to the duty. They kept dying to the same AOEs (o4n) and never bothered to move, so eventually I just stopped rezxing them and called them out that I'm not going to waste my mp on them if they aren't going to make an effort. Of course I got called the jerk, but I don't sign up to solo heal unless it's via PF and this was through DF, so yeah.

Bot or not, it's still lazy.

It's also very difficult to vote kick when you only realize the situation when the fight has actually started and you can see who is doing what (or isn't doing).

I have fallen asleep healing before.
