Why was my thread about healer dps deleted?

What I find strange about this community someone plays poorly some often say give them the benefit of the doubt they could be having a bad day, disabled, new even when they have multiple characters above their 60. Why do people feel the need to make excuses for playing poorly no matter the role or content.

With the GCD, it's all about opportunity costs. Every GCD action for each job is constantly competing with every other GCD action for use every 2.5 second window, and the way we choose which one is best is by determining which one is ultimately generating the most DPS for that 2.5 second window including healing. When we cast something like Medica II, it's because we've decided subconsciously that healing the party and giving everyone a regen is the option that will give us the most bang for our buck--that extra healing we're getting now and across the next 15 seconds will ultimately yield more damage indirectly than casting Glare or Holy as it will prevent someone on the team from being KOed where they otherwise might. Moreover, in that specific example, we've decided that this was the best available amount of healing we could offer or would need.

The same would ultimately be true for buffs, debuffs, and other forms of utility if they were added to the GCD. What are we getting from those abilities that would overall be a more optimal use of my GCD cast than simply casting Glare/Broil/Malefic/Dosis? You can see this thought process a bit more with Esuna since it's the only GCD action we have (except for Repose which is useless) that isn't healing or damage. If you get Toto-rak, for example, removing poison with Esuna is kind of a waste of time. The damage is too low and it doesn't last long enough to where wasting time on Esuna is worth it.

Interesting to say the least

I suggest you play the White Mage Story quests. And make sure you read the detail of the story. It makes you understand why the healer role is very different from the others. It's unique enough that you aren't just playing to heal and watch out for the tank to top their HP up, Not just raising the DPS or esuna them when need. Sometimes healing takes more than just about press that one Cure, it takes insights, it takes a lot of forward thinking if you ever start playing Astrologian. Take every criticism. Just take every one of them and try them out. In such a way, you will play and see what works for you and what not. Sometimes it takes luck and skills in life, such too in playing. All said, you're playing a game. Don't take it too hard on yourself at what other people say or do.

Such in life... these watermelons aren't gonna change for you. Just eat it and then make sure it nutriently flourish in your gut and flush them down the toilet.

Not gonna lie, I have no idea on what you're talking about besides doing the WHM story quest.

in the WHM story quest...(i think StB set) there's an interaction where it's said that tl;dr: DPSing is okay to do when you've got the time. standing idle for long periods is bad.

I mean it’s a talk about to test out your own way of playing healer or any role in final fantasy 14 so you are happy with it (without sandbagging other player). Or in short if life gives you lemons, punch life in the throat.
