I usually take in what they have to say take it on board, then when I'm in a different party they tell me I'm playing my job wrong.

So what do you expect of Paladins? Furthermore, Were any of these people wrong/right?
lol That's why I quite playing.

I was a Bard and people would harass me to be a freaking Whitemage, and when I played Ballista lke right befor eI leave Jeuno some lvl 75 Bard gives me crap about my subbing it with THF. I tell them I'm doing ballista and just tell them to bugger off they don't usually bugger off.

Welcome to Final Fantasy 11 were the players will harass you into conforming into their own personal norms.

Anyway yeah Paladins heal themselves. Only noobs expect you to heal them. If a party leader ever says that to you . Just leave the party and yes screw them over I don't care man. THere are times to be people person and be helpful, and their are times when you just have to be plain selfish.
