It is not possible to play without doing dps as healer? every day i find someone...

Wasn't trying to do anything of the sort. Of course a run goes faster if a monster dies. Literal basic logic. The longer it lives, the more risk of something bad happening, sure. I feel like we've just met different types of healers who don't do DPS I suppose, so I try to give people the benefit of the doubt. Just like when I see a tank not popping CDs during big pulls, or a off tank not popping defensives on a main tank or other party members to try and help them out, or a DPS standing in avoidable AoE and clearly turning with their keyboard to move (rather than just using mouse camera movement to move). I don't just assume they are being lazy I guess. If you don't either, thats great. If someone clearly has the ability to do what ever it is they need to do but are just not, then again, I agree, thats crappy of them.

Not saying you're taking a stance against older player/what ever players, but it just sounded like you just default to "Oh great a lazy ass player" when sometimes its not like that.

My former comments pointing out how the discussion is about willingly poor gameplay, while stating how lack of skill and/or ability is understandable:

Note that I'm also referring to intentionally bad play and not lack of skill or ability. Those of us who fight lazy healers on the forums have spoken till we're blue in the face about how what matters is genuine effort and not optimal skill, but it tends to fall on deaf ears.

That said, there's nothing wrong with not performing optimally as long as you are genuinely trying your best. No one begins as a savage tier player and it's okay to not be perfect. Additionally, if you have certain physical or mental limitations that make it harder to play the game, it's important to find a group of players who are willing to help you get through different aspects of content. Unfortunately, an MMO just isn't the prime example of a game genre known for accessibility, but as long as you communicate with people and create a network of friends who will help you, you can still enjoy a lot of what FFXIV can offer you.:
