What is going on with Square Enix and the 14 team?

I don't dispute it I'm just saying it's not my experience (which is a wrong thing to say apparently). Yo me I've always said to play another game that offers what you want. Don't stick around for what isn't good to you. And NO that's not the same as "shut up and leave" as some like to paint it.

I have no problem that not being your experience.
Since you don't dispute the fact healers spend 80% of the time dealing damage then you must know for that to not be your experience it's because of outside factors not innately tied to the healer class.

Lets take this to its logical conclusion however. In a vacuum where everyone is doing everything correctly and no one is taking any avoidable damage as most healers you spend 80% of your time pressing 2 buttons.
The above is not as far fetched as most detractors of healer criticism think it is.

If the only way for people to spend more than 20% of the time healing is for the players surrounding the healer to be bad or to fail mechanics is that not a design flaw?
If the further you master a class the less fun it becomes is that not a design flaw?

Do you not see the issue with this? Or is it because you don't experience this now or may never it's a non issue to you?

Is it because you don't want healer to change, you don't want your healer experience to change, that you stand in the way of progress?

I in fact do play other games to get my healer fix.
