This must be the most stupid proposal that I've read here in a while.
The community is toxic enough, this would make it even worse.
And I would never pay anybody for running a dungeon or raid with me, no healer no tank no dps.
And having instant dungeon queues and getting invited instantly for mythic pugs is enough for me as a healer.
Who ever feels the need to pay for a heal or a tank deserves it. Neither the tank/healer nor the person buying him is at fault. Buyer is acting out of free will and the inability to find a group of peers to play with, tank/healer just used the demand for them.
People who complain that they feel like they have to do anything to achieve something in a game are stupid beyond reason.
Time to remove healers from the game, they aren't really participating in the fight anyway. We have pet battles now for the girldfriends of our guildleaders to keep them busy.
Or.. Play with your guildie healers / tanks.
Not in a guild? Play with your ingame friends.
Got no ingame friends? Roll a healer yourself.
Don't want to play healer? Rely on group finder to get into mythic.
You find this attitude dumb, others do not, including me, I do not find this dumb at all. Someone is willing to offer me an in game currency which I can use to gain a real life currency one way or the other. You play the game how you wish and I play it how I want. Your speaking like your way of ''playing'' is the right one, which I can say it isn't. Also this behavior has been here since forever, gold has always held a real life worth. May it be legitimate or not.
Give me 1 reason NOT to offer an in game service for a currency instead of farming boars. Because that is exactly what I'd do if I didn't get paid to do a dungeon with someone.
These day's Im washed, playing VRchat instead.
Everyone should be doing that, I only DPS if people pay me. I get loot and I get gold, what's the problem ?
Nobody is changing the subject, you are making a terrible argument and get it turned around and thrown back in youf face. Which you dislike so you simple repeat it while pretending the other side needs to justify themselves. That, doesn't work. Not at all.
Nah! I just wait for groups looking in trade or other places offering gold. If it's a dungeon I still need all the better. Double profiting! And no, obviously that was your fault for somehow causing me to mess up. Git gud! ;D
I'm from Europe and while we do get health care for free. For the good health care you still have to pay. Public health care is covering increasingly less and less, it makes you a second class patient and leads to longer waiting times (depending on doctor sometimes months). Get private health care and see how big the difference really is, it's incredible.
The question is, why would you bother? Yes you get through faster but you also end up doing the DPS job atop of your own. The attitudes and behaviour of DPS in this thread for example is one of the reasons I will never feel bad about taking advantage of them any chance given or letting them die for my amusement if they annoy me.
They are people who think both the tank and healing job is far easier than their esteemed three button rotation, who think they are the ones carrying the group and doing the brunt of the work. Most of them have never healed or tanked in their entire WoW career and now they're expecting healers to DPS atop their main job solely because some of them can. If this is induldged it will only lead to further entitlement and absurdities on their part.
So unless DPS start healing aswell as tanking while still pulling top numbers I'd rather spend 2-3 minutes longer in that mythic dungeon than do anything more than I have to.
Exactly, these people are WILLING to pay healers who otherwise wouldn't run that dungeon or pick another group to come with them instead. There's nothing wrong with doing so or taking up these opportunities to make some extra cash. Obviously we have quite a few people who think the healer should be thankfully to the demigods that DPS are for even being allowed into the same dungeon. Who then expect the healer to do a "proper job" and contribute damage approaching their own numbers atop of smoothing out all their mistakes and keeping them alive against their best attempts at getting themselves killed.
I'm already doing it.
Only tagging in random HFC when the call to arms healer is up.
800 gold, ~200AP and some stat runes for raid <3
If people are stupid enough to do this...well, why not I guess.
But I will personally never participate in this, as a healer or a buyer. Encouraging more entitled attitudes in this game is the last thing the community needs. I would heavily suggest people not do this because you're actively working towards deteriorating the community of the game even further than it already is.
God forbid you would do a mythic (or anything) because you enjoy it. No, there has to be a quantifiable reward otherwise I'm not even going to bother.
Ironically it is a win-win for the healer. Gold for the run and somewhat big chance the people will be engaged to finish the instance lol
Fun fact: yesterday guild mythic run Violet Hall our healer asks for 10 mins break for dinner, we said lets clear the trash until he comes back. We were mid fight second boss without even needing a healer and it is only the second week of legion, heroics we are 4 dps (1 of them ms healer) and its all fun and gain.
In a while with some more gear wont even need a healer for normal mythics >.>
