The people who are vehemently against more damage buttons are under the mistaken assumption that it would cause the casuals to have a meltdown and then transform into damage-hungry individuals who will let you die for another Glare.

But the truth is that most players will not care either way. People who spam Cure now are also people who spammed Cure back in HW.

The irony is that people are fighting to keep the current healer design when the older design is far friendlier to casuals or inexperienced players. Because damage was harder to do in HW with Cleric Stance and accuracy stats, very few people would expect the healer to do damage in regular content. But now, every healer has a very easy to keep up damage rotation (if we can even call this a rotation) and their filler spam spell has a hefty amount of potency, so now healers are under far more scrutiny to do damage instead of standing around, especially so because tanks no longer take sudden spike damage after they removed crit from enemies.
