Troubling sign for 6.0

This one really baffles me. It was also their argument for not adding Mythic+ dungeons, because it would be too much pressure on the inexperienced healers. I understand if they want Normal to be tourist mode and even EX to be casual mode, but I don't get what they really want Savage or concepts like Mythic+ to be. Why does the harder endgame content also have to be designed so a healer with 50% uptime spamming their main aoe heal GCD and little else can beat it with a little gear? Savage should be the content that tests healers.

Because they seem hellbent on accessibility above all else. Savage has essentially become geared more towards the mid-core save for the last encounter in each tier. Leviathan and Idol are the easiest third fights we've ever seen, and E11 isn't exactly knocking down doors either. I think part of their hesitation stems from Gordias and Midas being so disastrous for the raid scene. Although, perhaps a bigger problem is the devs simply aren't paying attention to how we're playing the game. Yoshida citing they want Aetherflow to be more reserved for healing only adds credence to that theory. I can't help but wonder if their play testers aren't the best healers or play extremely cautiously, leading to the constant focus on more healing tools we simply don't need and low healing requirements.

Either way, I feel like the devs have overlooked player enjoyment in their strive for accessibility. It's understandable they want content to be approachable, regardless of the difficulty. But the primary focus should be making jobs enjoyable for the players who already like them instead of trying to convince people to try something new.

Or maybe they play too much with Invincibility cheat activated like Yoshida did on some live letter.
