You do realize that even on savage fights, healers have a lot of downtime in which they'll be mostly spamming 2111121112111, right?

Besides that, in order to not press only 2111121121111 I should only try the hardest content on the game?
Casual players are not allowed to actually do something that will make them pay attention to the game and feel engagement?

If you want to believe that they'll absolutely revamp the way fights are done on this game... Well, okay. You're allowed to do that. I don't believe that this will happen, but even if it DOES happen, the only relevant content that is not a snoozefest and which I don't have time to spam 21112111211 while doing nothing in-between besides throwing a heal is the expac content? What about the rest of the game? You can't make changes only thinking about the new expac. You have to see the game as a whole.

FFXIV is a good MMORPG. But it's also a game with a very rigid structure, so unless they change the way they design fights entirely, no, it's hardly just speculation. And it's very unlikely they'll change the game that way, and even if they do, it doesn't fix the problem because you have a bunch of content that will still suffer from this.
So it's surprising that some people aren't that hopeful.
And we know it's boring to play because we've already played like that. This is not a new type of boring - it's a well-known boring.
