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

[Semirhage]

It’s called toxic casuals. FF 14 has a decent number of these people. We’re trying to give helps for other people to get better or asking a simple question like “can you pls dps a little as healer” get you answers like “you don’t pay my sub” ( classic one ) or that people say that you are a rude person that is a toxic elitist.

Like I’m pretty sure some ff 14 player get out of the bed in the night having nightmares about people giving them tips on how too get better at the game.

For all the reputation I seem to have as resident Healer Subforum Wicked Witch, the circumstances under which I would tell one of these people to bite me is surprisingly narrow.

• New? I'll let you know that there's a lot more you can get away with than you think. If you're not ready, that's fine.
• Nervous? I'll give advice if you ask for it. Practice helps a lot.
• Tired? Yeah, probably me too. Slowing down isn't the end of the world.
• Just running roulettes and aren't interested in the details of increasing your healer skill? Okay. I've played competitive games that I was uninterested in climbing that ladder too.
• Don't think you can hack the skill ceiling? Sure, it's one dungeon for me.
• Just don't want to? I mean, it's so easy to do it that that seems extra lazy, but I can't stop you.

All that? That's cool enough. Pretending as if spamming Medica 2 makes you a genius healer, much better at the game than dirty sweaty tryhard oGCD weaving healers? Scoffing at the idea that managing your resources to minimize losses makes you a better healer? Sneering at the idea that minimizing your healing is a skillful choice rather than negligence? Yeah, that's where I call BS.

And those positions I call BS on seem to be how CBU3 thinks healers "should" be played.
