At least that is my current belief until I actually see the new content and experience it I cannot say either way which is why I'm saying all the doomsaying and complaining is putting the cart before the horse. Yeah you might even be making educated guesses but in the end thats exactly what it is educated guessing there's no statistical data to back it up until the content and changes go live.

Instead all any of you do is make a new complaint thread daily over the same exact thing then the same twenty people respond to it another twenty or so just look at it and shake their head and the rest just ignore it. Get your heads together consolidate make one thread with constructive feedback once things go live otherwise it's just bashing your head on the wall over and over again. Maybe I dont know start the consolidated thread with exactly WHY it's so boring to heal and try to work out how to make the bit more exciting then how to pick back up the dps buttons etc.etc.
The more you say stuff like this, the more you’re going to hear the same reply.

If the developers want healers to heal more, that needs to be reflected in the ENCOUNTER DESIGN. Over simplifying the DPS kit of the healer jobs comes off as more of a reprimand for not playing the job the way they think you should. If it were truly a balancing issue, they would have given White Mage some raid utility and called it a day.

But no, all evidence suggest that we are being strong armed into becoming heal bots, and a lot of us are not okay with that. We have to clear solo content too, you know. We want to be challenged and engaged during long encounters.

I see that you joined the forums in 2017, so you may have missed the differences in healing from ARR to HW to SB. But every expac launch led to serious issues with the healers. Frankly, this is nothing new, we’re just REALLY over it at this point.
