Are you the loud minority? (Healer feedback)

I only did this to demonstrate that Square should poses same metrics I can gather. I firmly do not believe the conclusions they have reached about healers are supported by the data they have collected.

If you mentioned at any point that sharing the screenshots with us was a way to compel SQEX to share their metrics and data, I (and many others) must have missed it.

If this was your point all along then WOW that long post I just made is a whole lot of going off topic lol.

I am also not attempting to be hostile or mean here I just do not subscribe to the "Square knows what it is doing and the dev team knows best" mentality. This development team has demonstrated time and time again that it has no clue about certain subjects and must hire additional help.

Yeah, they're def not perfect.
It's frustrating because without access to their data I feel it's hard for us to do more than wheel spinning on it.
They have shared some job statistics through their censuses, and Lucky Bancho are great for additional raw data. But even that stuff doesn't distinguish between who just has any specific job leveled and who is actively or frequently using that job.

At the very least, for job satisfaction we know one of the metrics they check is how often a job is brought into EX content and harder. While FFlogs paints a very incomplete picture, we may use that to get some hints.
(The other metric I know they use for job satisfaction is how many people build that jobs relic for that expac. And I don't think we have a way to track that).

For queue times, I have no idea if or how they collect / process that data.
They'd def have to look at times for an indication, because looking at how many people queue with each role will just even out to regular party sizes unless there are loads of people withdrawing from queues and doing so in a way that produces a patterj.

As far as I can gather, this is often a rather nebulous thing for them to nail down too.

I don't expect it, but I wonder if they wouldn't be open to sharing more numbers / data with us. Maybe someone should ask him about that at the next Q&A.

Many thanks for the replies though! They were well worded and most fun to engage with.

Yeah~
Your posts as well~
