    that aside, my personal take: isn't it wonderful how a bit of shorthand to save time in the LL can lead to so complete a misunderstanding of the question's intent, and to such a dismissive answer in reply?

    'just go play ultimates if you want healing to be engaging' is real galling.

    It's also extremely dismissive.

    We're told time and time again by the white knights that the FFXIV devs actually listen to the players. When it comes to healers, they don't.

    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]

    Well said. when I listened to to his response, it came across as someone who had made up his mind, had taken a specific design decision, and really wasn't open to change. Which may not be true- but this is how it was communicated.

    The icing on the cake was the "go play ultimates if you want healing to be challenging" - Well, that's really not acceptable. i can only assume from that it's because he has either closed his mind (very bad) or he is frustrated ande is fed up listening to healers. in either case, he needs to hire a dedicated healer designer.
