This is a problem. A Healer is spending 80% of the fight dealing damage. With. 2. Buttons.

If I'm not going to be a real healer and spend at least 50% of my time in a fight healing, give me a real dps kit.

Fact is you spend more time dealing damage than healing.
So to me the issue isn't healers in that regard. It's Tanks. Again I say that when talking about that specific issue not playing the healer itself.

The reality is though that so long as xiv has such a wide and diverse playerbase I don't think they will crank things up. They want to appeal to more people and easier content does that. Savage and Ultimates are there for folks who want more. I'm hoping those new Criterion Dungeons is part of that as well. Gives those wanting challenge from dungeons something too.
I just can't subscribe to the notion I see often that the devs don't care. They're far from perfect but it's not as though they don't try. And just to be clear I'm not saying you're saying that last bit. Just speaking generally
