Here's why I will not support this healer strike.

The strike came about as a response to the developers have completely neglected an entire role... The only healer that has really changed at all since Shadowbringers launch is AST and it's not really in a good spot...

All the Healers have an extremely bloated kit when it comes to healing and the most ridiculously barebones kit for doing anything else at all.

I don't support the strike tbh and the behaviour of those involved aswell as there obvious lack of experience in harder content while seemingly talking from authority is kind of jarring. I saw many people goading for the sprouts and current players to be inconvenienced or straight up left unable to participate in content think themselves so important that should they leave that there entire server would suffer. Its mind boggling. Luckily. My bf is a sage so the healer strike hasn't effected me or my ques. The whole thing just became so cringe that I walked away from it.

Can I like pay people to have a consistent argument

Are we casuals who don’t understand harder content or are we elite raiders who hate the casuals

All these people who are so “omg yall so toxic” never seem to acknowledge that we get this same both side vitriol thrown against us. Hell some weirdo went and made a whole list about us that was made to with no other reason than to insult us and it found we do high end content at a far higher rate than the average player. Like there is zero consistency here. Your comment right here you’ve both said we are too casual and we aren’t casual enough

Like please be at least somewhat consistent

It's plenty consistent lol. You're just not happy somebody doesn't think exactly like all of you do. Most of you haven't done any hard content (I checked your achievements on lodestone) yet go off on healing like it's soooo easy.

I dint know at what point I ever insinuated you were toxic eliete raiders lol. Feel free to quote that

Snow uses an alt precisely because of attitudes like this. I've also done some Savage and Ex back in ShB and decided not to do any in EW because it was going to be more of the same.

Actually fight against his argument rather than (ironically) acting elitist because he "hasn't done" content that he's actually done.

You don't need to be good at the game to do dungeons without healers.

You're not wrong. While people do say they like to try new things, it's been proven that the majority will still jump on something that has familiar elements more quickly than something that is vastly different. The hard part is finding a balance between expanding on a familiar concept and adding enough to distinguish it apart.

Without Yoshi P at the helm, FF14 would be in trouble because SE has many issues that have lead it into near financial ruin multiple times. We're just in a position where we have a team of devs that do care and while they may not immediately please everyone. they don't deserve the same treatment as many others in the industry who clearly don't care about their player base.

Any one person who believes they can do a better job should take a moment to realize that if they became a dev they would immediately incite the wrath of people just like them for things they themselves may of not been a part of. But this mob mentality doesn't care about that and it doesn't discriminate between who's at fault and who isn't. It's just become, if you're a dev we're entitled to treat you horribly.

There are many nuances to it which is why anyone who wants a positive outcome should be leading by example. Not dehumanizing them simply to justify their own toxic and entitled attitude. We're better than that.

You checked my achievements on loadstone, hmmm yes well so you know this isn’t my raiding main, want me to link my main logs sweetie I do plenty of hard content. Regardless why should you disqualify me for your perceived belief I don’t do enough hard content, there is plenty of anti strikers who don’t do hard content but you won’t call them out. If I need to do hard content to say healers are bad why don’t they need to do hard content to say healers are good. You are both saying we are too good and not good enough. There is no consistency. Engage with the actual substance of our arguments not decide whether we are “allowed to have an opinion” based on your assessment of you belief in our skills.

This is the whole problem, I’ve had people log stalk me and call me a casual who needs to do hard content to understand healers, then when I linked my real logs they said I was obviously too good at the game to have an opinion. At no time did they actually engage with the substance of my arguments

So I say again, pick a damn lane, call me a casual, call me a toxic raider I don’t care just engage with the substance of my arguments or quit randomly deciding that an entire group fits your narrow views so you can ignore them

You are totally missing the point, we aren’t saying “we are better than the stupid devs listen to us” we are saying “we have given you mounds of feedback as to our belief in why the healers aren’t engaging enough and have some evidence via lucky’s censuses that the healer role is haemorrhaging players can you please explain your design decisions more clearly and explain why you won’t acknowledge our feedback rather than making dismissive comments like “go play ultimate””

I'm not interesting in debating him lol
This is long past the point of it. The strike has and will amount to little more than an embarrassing hiccup in ffxivs history. We've had similar. Like when darks raged in hw.

Better to just call it like it is. Embarrassing
Like your taking this whole 2 lines I said onto entirely yourself. When I and 9999,% of the human race don't know who you are. I didn't ONLY check your lodestone. I checked most of them
So chil out lmao
