Lets face it, classes aren't perfect and they often come with baggage. There are abilities, powers, spells, even whole features that some people simply do not like. Other than those specific features, the player in question loves the rest of the class. Perhaps it's a ranger without a pet, or without spellcasting. Maybe it's a paladin who never uses channel, a priest who doesn't take any offensive abilities, or a wizard who goes straight damage and not utility, or even only casts specific types of spells. The player may or may not RP this into their character, or just simply not use those abilities because that's not how they like to play.
So my question is to you, the rest of the party, the DM, how does that make you feel? Does it bother you when a player won't play a certain part of their class, even if it's very useful to the given situation? Even if their reasoning is as simple as "I don't want to."? Or do you care? Do you feel it's their character to gimp as much as they want? To play as they want?
Yes there's a reason and logic that can be applied here, but I'm more curious how it makes you feel? How do you react to it, not how do you rationally reason and understand it.
