I'd like to address this as a misconception. Casual doesn't mean bad. I am a casual player but I am very good at the classes I play and with mechanics. Yes, sometimes you will screw up a mechanic. EVERYONE will do this at some point. It's how you bounce back from it that will show how good you are, and how well you work with a TEAM. Yes, you will always have bad players. But that in no means, means they are casuals. I've known some "hardcore" players that can play just as poorly as a newbie. So please do not lump all bad players into people who enjoy the game for what it is and have a good time while doing it.

As for Hashmal, alot of times theres just too much going down. Tanking and DPS is probably the easiest to do, while Healing tends to be where people die the most trying to heal DPS who just absorb every damage mechanic or trying to rez their team or other players. It requires a delicate balance of healing/rezzing and situational awareness that not everyone is capable of on some days. We all have good days and bad days. I had a healer on my team last night eat a couple columns. But she was a good healer and bounced back from each death spectacularly.

If more people took the time to help people I think these runs would go alot smoother and alot more people would know the fight more intimately, and not just of the floor...helping not just with the 24 man raid in general, but in dungeons, in primals, helping with classes and giving tips and tricks if you see something awry. No you can't help everyone but it could mean one less poorly performing player in the future!
