healers more rare than tanks?

You know what I think? The rewards for tanks specifically (roulette gil bonuses, tanking reward mounts, etc) are finally paying off and we're getting plenty of tanks now. Also, the myth about tanking being oh-so-difficult is dying down a bit.

Now we just have to tell people that healing isn't all that terrible, and maybe see to it that we're given some incentivizing rewards for healing, too, and then we'll be golden. :P


Edit: I've also noticed some trends as to where healers are in shortage, specifically. It's usually Trials, Raids, and Guildhests. Everywhere else you can pretty much insta-queue as either tank or healer, so the balance is kind of kept there. But when it comes to the duty types I mentioned, you're usually waiting on healers to join and I usually can insta-queue as a healer there. At least in the server cluster I play on, that is.

It's not difficult. It's just that mistakes are as clear as day if your a bad tank.
Since there's an influx of even more bad tanks, healers are fed up and are on strike.
