Yoshi-P: "If you want more engaging content, go play Ultimate"

[IDontPetLalas]

While I am not disagreeing with any healers sentiment for more of a challenge with their jobs both healing and dps wise,
However, I am a casual when it comes to healing. I do it only every once in a while when I am bored,
Now, I understand fully, I really do, how healing can be an absolute snooze fest in scripted content with competent members, over geared teammates, and under tuned fights. I talk about it with my healers all the time. However, going back to my first point, each job is made with every player in mind, for every piece of content.

Let me be clear, any job is boring if the content is easy.

Healers have the most responsibility and are the most reactionary role. Having(to an extent) a simple rotation is purely for casual healers(like myself) to be able to perform their healing duties and contribute to DPS while not being buried in the necessity to preform a more complex DPS rotation.Of course there is always room to improve and make adjustments, the devs have always made questionable design choices in the past, I just think a lot of people miss the point being made by Yoshi and the team.

*snip for length*
Point 1- If you play a healer one hour a week, quite a few of the changes that healers mains are asking for wouldn't impact you. I'll give you an example- IF the option to add more DPS functions was added in, the chances are are you would not use them- I wouldn't expect you to, and no one can harass you under the TOS.

point 2- is it fair to restrict functions based upon those people who level a job and forget it? I would say no. Listen to those people who actually main those jobs.

Point 3- No, not all jobs are boring if the content is easy. Healers are the ONLY jobs that hit 1 button for literally 90% of the time. Saying "do ultimate or savage " is BS. Many players aren't interested in that content, you are conflating engagement with difficulty.

Point 4 - healers have responsibility, however so do other roles. If you as the tank decide to point a cleave at me, the healer - well then I can tell you that things are going to go bad very quickly. So YOU have quite a bit of responsibility. Somehow, no one worries that (for example) paladins need to keep up various rotations while simultaneously positioning the boss, performing a tank swap, rotating CDs, perhaps using healing skills, using cover, etc. We aren't missing Yoshi's point. We are not stupid. we disagree.

Finally, your "talking with your healers" just comes off as being rather condescending, even if was well-intended. We don't need a mouthpiece, playing a support job should not be construed as being infantile, there are hundreds of posts from healer mains. The "just do ultimate" really was extremely dismissive, I really don't want to be rude, but no other class/jobs gets that attitude.
