the sad thing is, people wont move to canada. not enough people anways. as much as i think current healer design is orders of magnitude worse than before, even if i stopped playing healer i probably wouldnt stop playing the game, because the game is more than the healers. and even if i DID stop playing the game, new players are coming in droves.

I could stop playing healers myself, but im always seeing new players (mostly friends who just got into xiv) start by playing healer, and sticking with the role because its newbie friendly and the queue times are comfy. I have one sprout friend in particular that thinks current whm is lame, read the hw/sb actions and thought they were so much cooler, but theyre still playing whm simply because thats the job theyve leveled the most and they dont want to start from scratch just to continue playing something else that might be better. now multiply that by however thousands of new players there are. i dont exactly know what metrics the devs use but until healers are literally unplayable theyre likely to not notice anything.


that said ill gladly keep playing the healers which i think have some semblance of good direction, mainly ast and sage, instead of the ones which i think are awfully designed. hopefully seeing higher numbers on more involved healer design will nudge them to that direction.
