'I like that it's not hard' isn't a tenable position in the long run. Hell I'm on a third alt atm carrying family and their friends through MSQ fights so they can enjoy the story for what it is. When they try to heal they encounter panic issues and can't ABC past 70% uptime. Am I gonna tell them that? NO. But when they express interest in Savage or ask why I sound bored as I'm doing callouts and fixing their mistakes, I'm going to be honest about it and say "Whether you get good at this game or not you're going to hate healers in the long run, play something else unless you like the stress. That's the lifeblood of the role in any MMO".
    and I consider only my first sentence of my response is kinda passive-aggressive.

    The rest of my comment about WOW healers are genuine. They are true to current WOW environment. I wasn't lying just to make sarcasms. Let's be honest, WOW literally has everything most people on healer forums are asking for regarding engaging healer design.

    And yet I've heard enough from other players about its overall character progression systems to know I would hate playing it in spite of that. Warframe's an amazing shooter I literally cannot play anymore because of its bloated systems that rely on the that core loop being good. Path of Exile turns on my number crunching brain in a good way but it went that way for me too and it's not time-gated at all. If I'm sitting down with a group to grind out some fights together, I'd rather be playing XIV, because the general upkeep is so much less by comparison. Half my static is full of healer mains. Same with my CWL. The fact it gets so much right is why this is such a blight on its experience.
