If this is what actually occurs then Healer players will eventually start quitting the game, and unlike all the other times where players are just being hyperbolic, they would have a valid reason. Terrible melee balance in 3.0 when Monk was considered a meme and DRG and NIN was a hard locked meta combo didn't stop them from adding SAM. Terrible caster balance in 3.0 when summoner was blowing Black Mage out of the water didn't stop them from adding Red Mage. Dark Knight in 4.0 was no different then White Mage in 4.0 yet they added Gunbreaker, Machinist was an absolute meme compared to Bard in 4.0 and yet Dancer got thrown in with no thought at all, while also doing a complete and total gutting of Bard on top of it.

Healer every time they have added a job there has been a balance problem. This will never change, and it never will. So if they continue to cling to that, they better be ready to start losing players over it.
