Healing and Fates.. Why isn't it working anymore?

[Shmunkster]

So you sacrifice the purpose of joining the fate if you play the class you are intended to play...thus leaving others dead on the ground or at low health? Really? I mean, really? That is totally broken and ridiculous.

I know! Its crazy. I've decided that FATEs aren't for me...I just stumble on them now and heal and raise anyway (like you). The other day I raised some people during Savra and they all messaged me like I had really saved their lives by CPR!? But, it gives me the nice feeling that I became a healer for...share the love....don't mind about XP, Gil or medals in FATEs now. That's why I became a healer....random healing to strangers. Which has a fun side....the other day I went to Costa Del Sol, put on my bikini and ran up and down the beach healing people doing their leves etc. That was fun, and lots of people waved, cheered and laughed for me. Happy times. That's why I play.

I find myself doing the same now I'm working on my CNJ. The amount of tells I get thanking me for heals and raises is insane. Makes a nice change since I tanked my way to 50 and got little to no thanks at all, not that I mind since I know that I did a good job. After being left for dead on a number of FATEs and not being healed myself, now playing as a healer I like to help out when I can.

I agree. The thanks and cheers I get for doing something I'm meant to do (but not expected to) far outweighs any medals or exp.

That is a nice thought, but some of us are doing FATEs to level. Sadly, the most important thing to me is getting experience, helping people comes second. I will throw out one or two heals if I see someone dying but that's about it. You will find me as a Conjurer, not a White Mage, dealing as much damage as I can in these things.

I agree with the people who think this is a completely broken system. I'm sorry. I really think that healers should get experience in these fusterclucks for healing. It shouldn't matter if you're in a group or not. Many times I am in a group and everyone else in it is ranged dps and they don't need healing for example. It's always someone outside the group it seem.
