Healer boycott in 5.0

[tinythinker]

I've been a ride or die sch since 2.0, I'm gonna keep on trucking and enjoy the instant ques caused by this boycott.

See? Always a bright side. Though I may try tanking a little this summer (not in protest but to actually, you know, try it), so that might be a downside for those who remain as healer... :/

Wonder if these changes is why my server and datacenter seems to be dying. Don't see half population now that did last month. That's not good sign

Play what you enjoy among the jobs that are available. It's just a game.

Boycotts don't accomplish anything because they don't explain what the problem is, they only demonstrate that people are unhappy. You might push them into making random changes that will make the healing jobs feel even worse.

Better to play the healing jobs once the changes are live then give constructive feedback on how things are feeling as we go through the new content. Things that look bad on the surface end up much better in practice once we're able to apply the skills to the content they have been designed for. And of course the reverse can be true but we need to actually experience the changes, not just theorize what we think things might be like based on tooltips.

Personally, I'll keep healing because it's the MMO role I tend to enjoy the most.

Are you new to MMOs? It is the end of an expansion. Every MMO has an active population drop at the end of an expansion as people take time to play the other games they've been meaning to play. They'll be back in droves when the expansion is released, setting us up for the next Raubahn EX.

I might join in. Boycotting is a useful tool in situations like this.

Meanwhile the rest of us real healers will be doing our healing while the rest of you sit out and do whatever it is youre going to do.. huh kinda like an 8 man raid that way when you think about it.

You sound like the sort who'd rather toss out a Benefic II on someone missing 3 HP than deign to sully their hands by pressing Combust. Just because you're content to contribute the bare minimum doesn't mean the rest of us have to be happy with it.

This is where you use your headmeat for something other than grasping at straws the dont exist.

Why the hell would I waste a benefic II on someone who's obviously been regened by me 16 seconds ago so I could Malefic III, Combust, Gravity. and use my cards More than likely redrawing at least once during that time period?

Well they'll have their data as a good chunk of their healer mains drop healing or the game entirely. They'll realize they messed up and hopefully scramble to correct themselves.

It's not my job to play armchair dev, I'm not fixing the system they broke for them. They don't pay me for that.

I've made very clear across multiple forums my displeasure and where it stems from. It's their job as a developer to design their systems. Building upon the old one would have been fine, even this new one would have been fine if it had maintained some of it's identity and diversity.

They didn't, so I'm dissatisfied and I will voice my displeasure every chance I get to let them know they messed up and I'm not happy about it.

They'll fix it and get my money or they won't, and they won't. I show my displeasure with my wallet because like you said, a company only understands numbers.
