Wow, good point — it's almost like no matter how simple and easy you try to devolve a Role into, there will still be people who don't "get it" and don't try.

So why, then, did Healers have to be mechanically-devolved?

Doing so obviously didn't fix anything, because people were both wiping in World of Darkness, and also clearing World of Darkness, in... ARR... HW... and SB.

It's almost as if people are people and sometimes they'll fail at things, whether they have 1 DOT or 3 DOTs, and whether they need to use 3 GCD Heals or 3 OGCD Heals.

Perhaps, then, we should stop trying to design the game as if we're toddler-proofing our household, because you're not going to "fail-proof" the system, and it's inherently okay if imperfect play and lack of understanding causes a wipe.
