Fast queue? Fast queue!? Have those spouting this kinda nonsense ever been on receiving end of the kind of vitriol that is spewed at healers when you do "fail to heal"?

Have you ever dragged one entire alliance kicking and screaming across the Dun Scaith finish line only to receive no commendations, not even thank you? This lala has. I gave it all she's got captain and healed as much as my little astro self could in there until the ogcds were gone. I raised and healed myself dry. Three fricken healer LBs in one raid. Three! Almost four! Diabolos was nearly vanquished whilst there I stood one of five people still amongst the living, spamming Malefic at 100 hp until it was over...

Fast queues.. pfffffffffff

Yes for role that is not required at best and unwanted by rest of party at worst. A role where we get to spend forty five minutes pondering why we are unable to heal stoopid or with team literal god pressing 1,1,1,1,2,1,1,1,1.

Wonder how many of the others were sitting in their chairs screaming "Where were the eeeels!" during that run of Dun Scaith, while I worked my booty off holding that mess together?

Watched streamer Violent Destruction playing on launch week for Endwalker wait 50 fricken minutes for two healers. Gee willikers, I wonder why? It may say tank in need but we know, we know it is not.

Ohhh right! Answering this old thread because why the heck not, nope! Have not abandoned healing and neither have friends but I do heal much much less then once did. Once I finally make it into the Endwalker stuffs I will be healing there too but cannot help wondering, is this only because I love playing support so much?
Got that "fast ques" accusation thrown at me recently too when i summarized Healer problems under a r/FFXIV tweet. The funny part is that i literally have like 100 WHM weapons sitting in my Glam coffer and its filled with Healer exclusive glam, mained WHM for the entirety of ShB and now SGE for ENW and the stuff i talked about are issues you might not even realize as a "DPS player who wants fast ques" but yeah i just want fast ques, right.

And even if you were a "DPS player who wants fast ques" why the frick would you play a healer? The most boring jobs in terms of DPS. Tanks at least have a rotation and with how overtuned their HP sustain is you don't even have to rely on a healer paying attention anymore.
