A conversation I had today

K: You use overhealing as a bandaid for everything, and is your go-to asap when anything is going badly.

Me: But recently we successfully killed a boss because we added another healer. Is that not worth it?

K: It was overhealing to compensate for people making mechanics mistakes. You should have sat the people who made those mistakes. I feel deceived, I thought this guild was focused on progression, but it feels just like you guys only want people to be happy and are willing to sacrifice progression.

Me: If I had sat the people who made the mistakes, we wouldn’t have had enough people to kill the boss. Would you have preferred that?

K: No. The problem is not having a robust enough roster. I’ve never seen a guild with attendance that’s this terrible. You need to fix our roster issues.

Me: We’re trying to do that, but while we’re doing it, we should work with what we have and try to still do well despite it, right?

K: Everyone is going to leave because of this. It’s just going to keep spiraling down. Don’t worry, I don’t think you’re fully to blame for it.
