I'm gonna say it. cause no one else will.

A lot of pages. Let me get this right. Player A likes the healer gameplay and makes a plea not to change it. Ironically that plea comes from the fact that a lot of other users HAVE been complaining about the class.

I'll say this. FF14 is expanding. It has a lot of new players and I think it makes sense to cater to the skill floor for the classes. It sucks for us veteran mains. But alas it is how it is, and making healers accessible isn't necessarily a bad thing for the company at this point in time.
However, it is undeniable that MMO players will clock a lot of hours and get better at their roles. When that happens, the current healer design doesn't give anyone room to grow into the roles and they become outright boring. It's an undeniable problem with the design and a valid reason for people to whine.
The game will be fine if you don't hit that skill tier, or if you do but don't play the role much you may be willing to overlook it. But if you hit the skill level and play the role day in and day out, it's an insufferable design.

A lot of us have been advocating for options that would give us more to do while not raising the skill floor much at all. Alas, we didn't even get that, instead they kept dumbing things down. (weirdly, despite them acknowledging the general player consensus that healers are boring to play)
