At times it seems like the lack of engagement on the issue is a sort of tacit approval of the current state of things, which just demoralizes people and prevents further/continued discussion. Defeatism has set in.

I imagine we'll see the issue being picked up again for the next media tour, but who knows how far out that is.


I do think there is a serious disconnect between the devs and the community however. If we look at the ShB media tour again there were multiple examples where the devs outright failed to understand and communicate with the community, Japanese or foreign, when it came to healers. It almost felt as if they didn't know how to handle healers, so they kept trying to brush us under the rug and ignore us or something.

Not going to lie, I'm still a little salty over their lack of any questions/answers during their interviews as well lol. I just hope the next tour is more professional.

i for one am still ultra salted over the DRK and SCH gameplay identity changes, and the lack of necessary QOL updates to bring DRK and SCHs leveling kits up to par with their fellow jobs has left me in a state of barely wanting to play the jobs that brought me to love this game. I seriously hope that some of the insane amount of money this game generates get put into hiring at least one competent developer for both tanks and healers, because the future won't look so bright if they continue to rely on reluctant DPS devs to balance the role.
