Been seeing a lot of doomsaying in forums/in-game lately

[WaxSw]

These things are done with highly coordinated groups in voice chat that have an agreed strategy and BiS gear, this is not indicative of the game as a whole. There are also players that can clear Elden ring in 10 minutes or so, so I guess we should call that game shallow, easy, and too short.

Not all of them are "highly coordinated runs in Bis" not even close. Yes the no healer extremes savages and ultimates require group coordination but 1 healer runs for ex farm is easily doable with randoms even if the people is not even close to BiS, solo healing Savage can be easily done without a coordinated group as long as the healer knows the fight ofc (the only reason we don't see more of this is fflogs, healer specific mechanics and weekly gear cap) and the tanks soloing dungeons is a thing that anyone can do with very little effort and no Bis gear whatsoever

Those achievements, no matter how skilled the players are, show that the game has way too little outgoing damage for the amount of healing tools healers have and in a lot of cases show how healers are comodity rather than a necessity.

Edit: The difference with elden ring is that players clearing in 10m only do it by ignoring large chunks of the "game" with meaningful content, you have world that you treat as a straight line. Healers are the opposite all the meaningful content is condensed into those "10m" and all the actions apart from that are unnecessary deviations that do not provide anything useful/meaningful, we have a straight line and are asked to treat it as a world.
