Main Scenario Restriction Bloodstorm - Very Very Bad idea.

This is rare to see.
In PvE stance and esuna are being used so frequently; and in Pvp...
Well base on what you say I bet you never healed in feast

What does Feast have to do with low level PvE? I said Cleric Stance is "click and forget" pre-30, which is what the subject is about. I didn't mean you'll never stance dance.

Considering it's better to frequently switch in and out of Cleric Stance, I'd hardly call it a "Click and forget". Having recently came back to level WHM, I also wouldn't say Esuna rarely has any use. Is it vital ? No. But you're still supposed to learn how to rely on it before it becomes necessary. That's the point of a learning curve. It's the same for Medica, as it should teach you to judge how to spend your MP efficiently before forcing you to starve when done wrong.

At later levels, yes. Pre-30, I barely bother stance dancing because the tank just isn't going to take much damage. Perhaps we heal differently, but I'll generally let the tank's HP fall low before I heal. In that time, most packs will have died and I don't even need to heal them. Now if they start pulling more, you'll have to dance, but newer tanks usually won't. You learn how Esuna works by reading its description. I know a lot of us don't hold much optimism for DF, but I'd like to think they can figure that out on their on.

Medica just isn't a thing. I leveled WHM on my alt almost to Praetorium and I honestly can't recall ever using Medica-- certainly not before Stone Vigil. Nonetheless, this isn't difficult to pick up just by reading.

It's not "for the sake of it" it you have an audience that specifically look for that kind of concept. I've tried several MMOs and none managed to hook me, precisely because they didn't have that feeling a being united in a grand story.

And that audience isn't going to be effected. I'm similar, actually. I basically quit the MMO genre for years because the stories bored me. FFXIV's made things interesting and I love it for that. But, if someone else only wants to play for raids. I, frankly, couldn't care less. They'll skip the story regardless. Might as well let Square make money off them.
