[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 3876544, member: 4134"] It's a combination of different factors: One is people being annoying, the other is a lack of farsight. Let me explain the latter one: Healing is probably the most immediate form of help you can give: You use a spell, someone's numbers on the sheet get better for good (or until he's hurt again). They don't quite see how the fighter standing right there all the time helps you by soaking damage. How the wizard's hex prevents enemies from hurting you. And so on. Sometimes it's only the latter thing, like when you have some newcomers who have to get their mind around the idea of a game where you don't try to win against the others. But it's usually the former, accompanied by the latter (often it's deliberately putting on blinkers. They know they're being shortsighted and do it on purpose). I had one cleric-player doing it once. It was the guy who can't help but play annoying characters. He's bad at masking his own traits. [/QUOTE]
