    They're far more adept at brushing off Healer concerns (look at the White Mage megathread in Stormblood) than they are the other two Roles.

    We're supposed to be good little healbots that don't ask questions or get upset, because this is the expansion of "Healer Balance" and if they don't get them "balanced" according to their vision, we're not going to get a new Healing Job.
    It's not just the healers though. There are many unhappy monks, dark knights, summoners, and bards right now, among other jobs. They're just fewer in number than the upset healers. The cynic in me would be inclined to agree that the devs just ignore healers, but I think I can manage to be hopeful for another few days. If they screw it up again, I guess it's time to reinstall WoW.

    I'd be willing to bet the non-Healer Jobs get the lion's share of the responses when they do finally start talking about the Job changes.

    But at this point I basically have a cynic and a worse cynic, one on each shoulder, so hopefully I'm wrong.

    I mean, during the ShB press tour there were 96 questions asked and only 4 of them were about healers and those 4 were fluff questions.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
