Dear SE, I am a Healer

[Risvertasashi]

I mean, it's cool to see new jobs, and we'll eventually get a new healer, but what's all about this rush? Do you really NEED a new healer RIGHT NOW to fulfill this supposed "emptiness"?

Nothing is really NEEDED. We could have only paladin and warrior for tanks. It would be easy to balance them then, too, one for MT the other for OT. We could have been running with only those 2 since ARR, no dark knight and no gunbreaker and encounters would play out just fine.

Ditto for DPS. Ninja, Machinist, Samurai, Red Mage - and now Dancer - They're all unnecessary additions. We could play the game just fine without them.

So given that they're all not NEEDED, why do you think SE added them?
If you can answer that question, you'll understand why people want a new healer too. And 6 years is a pretty long content drought for anything.
