Developers : Healer design mentality needs to change

[Deceptus]

There have been multiple threads attempting to show how the FFXIV healer design is currently the wrong approach as the game is currently developed but it all boils down to this very simple sentence:

Healers are the only Role in the game that "rewards" you with worse gameplay the better of a player you are.

If you play your job skillfully, you are rewarded with a single button filler spam.

No other role would find that acceptable. Why is it acceptable for healers to play that way?

Tanks wouldn't accept a lone single target dps button, an aoe, and the rest of their kit be zero damage aggro generators and damage mitigation. They'd riot.
