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

[MellowMink]

The idea that it’s okay to dismiss valid and persistent healer complaints about lacking DPS variety or healing complexity while playing as a healer for 99% of instances and the entirety of solo content by simply pointing to four extremely specific instances as if that’s the only thing that healers ever want to play is actually incredibly disingenuous and rude.

It feels like the director is sometimes looking for an easy out in these questions, and it’s kind of disheartening to see “You think you want it, but you don’t” types of responses from Final Fantasy XIV designers when I thought they wanted to avoid those problems that many players had with toxic World of Warcraft community-versus-designer conflicts.

I really hope that this can somehow be propagated up to the director; I feel like he should take a little bit of time to write a more serious response to concerned healers that doesn’t sound like he’s being dismissive or wants healers to stop complaining about continued problems.
