Then you're just happy to be a slave while others are not.

oh make no mistake im not part of the positive side of the community this company has made some stupid decisions when it comes to content. i jsut dont agree with strikes or boycotts. cause that just shows they deserve no respect.

Thank you for our post on the main Thread though! You even re-liked page one, how thoughtful of you~

go back to your 10 other healer whinger friends complaining that theyre "so bored"

as someone begrudgingly playing healer through this first half of the expansion (to get raid ready)
i think the strike is pointless & funny.
like - i feel that healer is meant to be straight forward, boring and un-dynamic.
its not meant to be engaging outside of heals and ressing a party. they do have pretty magic tho and glams are okay.
there has been disgruntled healers since the ShB changes to the class so this is nothing new.

but i think the video re-opened the door that held all of the ignored complaints about healer since ShB.

i dont support the strike- but i get it. maybe healer will get a small revamp in 10+ years if Mr. Yoshi-P is still able to grace this world & cares enough.
But healer is meant to be boring based on how it has been altered over each expansion. some perhaps like its simplicity, but its simplicity has also widened the "im a healer, i dont need to dps" tunnel too. its like working retail, youre expected to all the things and help others, but get very little in return while dealing with people's BS. it can be a thankless & unrewarding job. But tank can also get the same treatment at times.
and since it doesn't have any dynamic play style or any fun inside of pve, and now some players have made it look redundant. So what?
although ive cleared dungeons without a healer. but it was due to the healer incompetence or DC. the video is nothing new or special.

Just posting about it serves the purpose of the strike: to make dev team aware that there is a significant dissatisfied population of healers and that they want concerns addressed. Concerns that I have heard and seen repeatedly since at least Stormblood. They are valid concerns. Don't support it if you don't want to, I support it and am not healing, I'm just not logging in unless necessary. No striker is forcing you to join or agree but thanks for boosting visibility regardless
