This has not been an occasional thing that hasn't gone my way in this game. This is an amazing piece of media I've invested a lot of time and money into. I was a healer main for years while having eyes only for AST.

I moved onto WHM. Certainly I'd find solace there.

Blue Mage is coming out? Along with Mimic, one of my favorite jobs. Mayhaps I'll find something there.

Okay, fine. I guess I get the hint that I should play a red icon. Samurai looks fun--

Tank... main?

I understand the grievances you have with the development team and the game. Some of them I share since I've been healing for the past 2 Expansions. Of course, there are going to be people who are going to attempt to derail or simply insult others' opinions - whether they be constructive or not - because everyone's different. I don't mind inclusiveness, but there has to be a line that is drawn so as we aren't harming each other and our community with harmful insults or deprecative expletives. Some, like yourself, have a limit to the point they can't take it anymore, and that's fine. What isn't fine is not setting an example and simply taking it out on others to the point you're doing the exact same thing that you've seen in the first place. There's anger, annoyance. Something that Yoshida should see because we're discontent with what the Development Team has failed to do in the past few months since Endwalker's release, or even during Shadowbringers.

Typically, this thread was with all intents and purposes meant to serve as a way to express our grievances towards the Development Team and their lack of listening and discussion. There hasn't been an open discussion in years with Naoki Yoshida aside from FFXIV's Partners, such as MrHappy, Zepla HQ, MTQ, etc., who are all in line with keeping things positive and not bearing to express criticism. At times they have, but only in small ways that weren't broad strokes. Not to slander, but poking at certain things that get people's attention. They have asked sensitive questions in the Endwalker Tour because Healers have reached a boiling point, and it's going to boil over soon enough if things keep getting worse.
