Has anyone quit healing?

[Recon1o6]

I've swapped off healer this expansion. I'm tired of playing healer in savage, I'm tired of how healers are always last in getting loot, and I'm tired of how playing healer in savage/ultimate almost guarantees that statics will pass you over if you want to play anything else than healer. I specifically don't enjoy what the designers did to Astrologian this expansion, and how White Mage is so far behind Astrologian that serious statics will force you to play Astrologian.

It's fairly difficult to get competent healers now, many of the groups I know have had to settle with subpar healers, and that hurt progression this tier.

its not just me then thank goodness

It always annoyed me that healers are always dead last for gear. I hoped for this static when I was trying sage (only way i could get into any static was by doing healer and I do want to unlock the ultimate even though chances are I will never do it)
Static breaks on number 3 in the tier? tough luck healer only the dps deserve loot and maybe the tanks so they can ignore a tank swap. Its why I think savage loot should be personalised or drop 3 coffers one for each role.

I picked up sage for a little while but dropped it days after my static broke up in week 3. The dark arts lite eukrasia was enough for me to occasionally heal some difficult content, but once everyone was used to EW I stopped doing roulettes with it and after static broke I stopped entirely. The fact that healers aren't even neccessary anymore for most content was just another on the list of reasons not to play the role at this point.

At this point I'm heavily considering unsubbing until healers get better treatment from the developers or another job comes along in 7.0 that I enjoy like I did old astro and hw drk. Yoshida's insult was pretty much final notice. Unless the story hooks me in 6.1 I'm off and my friend can have my house. It was only the story and the house that kept me playing in shb because job and battle design was so poor and its even worse this expansion.
This game has been on a downward slope for too long in the core gameplay department and too focused on flashiness and "accessibility" rather than solid content.

While some recent announcements do please me such as difficult 4 man content at long last, I am rapidly running out of interest. Sage didn't offer anything new, Smn feels wrong without the pets, Reaper is far too clunky with my ping. Monk leaves something to be desired as usual and is still difficult with my ping. No other job moved on from the mess that is shb to be worth my interest.

Pretty much no job interests me anymore. Too many jobs are homogenised messes (tanks/healers) ping reliant (mnk, mch, rpr) or have no depth to them whatsoever (too many to list)
No to mention there are no resource based jobs other than sage anymore. Everything is a damn rotation
