PS. Im myself autistic in real life, so i do not see as fast as others do if sumthing is funny or not, just never anyone did talk about this to me ingame, if anyone did i wouldnt maybe ever got a penalty either. anyways by this i give everyone my apologize on this old setup, and make also all future macro's very much to the basic stuffs.
Social concepts can definitely be hard to grasp, and "slave" does get used in some non-serious contexts - someone might say they're a "slave to work" if they don't like their job, or a Pokémon player might refer to certain utility Pokémon as "HM slaves".

But the core concept of a slave - and why you shouldn't call someone else that - is that they have no choice about what they do. They have to do what their master orders them to do, whether they want to or not.


When you join a dungeon party, everyone is an equal team member. Your healer is there because they ticked a box to say "yes I'd like to join a party and play a dungeon with them", same as you did.

By calling them your slave, you're inherently placing yourself above them as their "master" - saying they aren't healing you because they're an equal human being who wants to play a game with you, but because you hold power over them, and they must work for you.


This is also why it's not offensive in the same way (but would still be odd) for you-the-healer to call yourself the same thing - because in that case, you're placing yourself lower, not higher, than the other party members.


(Also, I assume "Michelle" is your actual name, but it's better to stick to your character name - for online safety, and also just connection to your character display name. Though personally I don't think the macro is necessary.)
