You most certainly did.
Emphasis mine.
Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]




Side note, this isn't how I read it, personally, but it could be inferred that way, yes.
I didn't because I believed that instead of saying I, and other healers like me, should be alienated, that you want me instead to reach an accord with players who are satisfied with the status quo. Problem being, they don't want to give on anything.
We want more damage to heal so that our current tool kit is actually worth something. They say "no because it will be too hard for the less skilled". While this wouldn't be an issue if the devs PROPERLY TUNED DUNGEONS. Fine. We'll bite.
We then go to having more dps options. Not what I want at all, but it's all we can get to "reduce downtime" without changing anything else. Fine. They say, "no, because then you high skilled raiders would complain the less skilled or new healers aren't doing enough".
I'm just going to refer to my previous post:
We can't win basically is my point.And before we cycle back to "it pressures newer healers into doing dps" and "higher skilled people will yell at them to be pressing more buttons" again
If a new or less skilled healer is healing more than dpsing because they cannot handle the extra dps yet, no one is going to berate them. It isn't as if they're standing around doing nothing but casting cure 1. They're obviously trying to dps and heal at the same time. As an AST I have yet to be called out for prioritizing healing over dpsing or even my own cards. This is an extremely minor issue and if anyone is being harassed report them. Its that simple.
I'm tired of being told to wait for post-patches and expansions for fixes and increased healing requirements that are never coming. Healers are not fun in all forms of content like all jobs should be, they're replaced by tanks and dps due to low healing requirements and their dps kit is small for 0 reason, when in the past we had more options and handled things just fine. I refuse to play healer in roulette come DT. I refuse to heal EXs, I refuse to go into Savage, and I am boycotting Ultimate.
