Which brings me to the reason I mentioned 8-mans earlier. For all intents, as the game progresses, people have found ways of skipping entire sections of the game, found ways to use emergent gameplay (like bringing mobs to the cannons, instead of fighting them where they spawn like the developers intended) and SE has said nothing about it. This is another variation where people do things because that's what experience with that duty calls for. I can't tell you how frequently back in V2.0 players would spam these things for tomes, and all the newbies got steamrolled over not knowing why we were running mob trains. But clearly Yoshi-P has a problem with healers being "forced to DPS when they want to heal" by players claiming that the game mechanics require them to. It does not, and it has never.
