It's why Shadowbringers Improvisation on Dancer was such a bad tool conceptually and was reworked, for example--a different kind of tool, but one with the same core flaw. No one will ever be able to sell me on a resource who's only method of being generated is objectively a terrible waste of your time.
I see people mentioning generating Addersting in other ways such as through Rhizomata or Pepsis, but I feel like that's resigning Addersting to just be a glorified Ruin II for the rest of its existence, and I just don't want that. The promise of a potential way to actually encourage GCD healing for once in this game's forsaken existence, resulting in something that's satisfying and a core part of your gameplay should sound like a breath of fresh air for everyone, and to be fair, I really think it would be better for all players, casual, midcore, and hardcore alike, if this were encouraged more with all healers and not just Sage.
There's another thread on the forum that stumbled across a really fascinating video about retouching WHM's gameplay to be stronger, and one such suggestion was allowing GCD healing to proc "Diacloud" in a similar fashion to BLM's Thundercloud, for example.
