Developers : Healer design mentality needs to change

[Laphicet]

I may be crazy, but I’ve not witnessed this drop in the healer population that seems to be the main concern here. Roulettes still primarily give out tank bonuses, as always. I still adore my SCH.

My stupidly long queue times on anything but healer say otherwise.

Adventurer in need is a bit broken, it looks for tanks before everything else and thus you will see Tank AIN more in spite of the fact that healers are noticeably rarer and most often the last role to fill when queueing for most things, or that's the case on crystal at least (it checks TANK then HEALER then DPS when it comes to filling slots, and thus gets stuck on filling the tank slot more in spite of healer taking longer to fill, and with how it gets locked into a role for a set period of time regardless of what fills, it ends up giving the illusion that tanks are rarer while actually trying to queue for stuff tells a very different message, as I have come to learn while trying to level DPS classes over the last month).

On Crystal I have noticed that it usually varies for "in need" roles but it favors tanks and dps for the most part. Alliance, Trials and Level 80 Dungeons seem to alternate between tank and dps every so often and you will occasionally see healer as the needed role for Alliance raids or something random. It's actually somewhat of a rarity for me to see healers in need for anything, at least in my experience.
