Healers need an overhaul

[Elesh]

And more importantly:

IT'S NOT OUR JOB TO COME UP WITH THE SOLUTIONS.

We don't get paid to design the game.

Our responsibility is to detect the issues we have as paying customers (and we have, time and time again). We don't have to come up with the solutions as well. Saying otherwise is just passing the buck from the designers to us.

We've done OUR part, the dev team needs to do theirs. They can either meet us in the middle somewhere, or ignore us and watch the healers continue to leave.

Which is probably, IMHO, why they're designing systems to play solo.



Dungeons don't need a healer at all
The first 3 stages of the normal 8 man were completed without a healer
The first stage of the savage 8 man was completed without a healer
The first two EX trials were completed without a healer.

Healers are essentially pointless in current FFXIV content. That should be the feedback they are receiving.

Except when we tried to bring that up, our question was blatantly miscontrued and we were to told to go play ultimate if we were unhappy.

Not to put too fine a point on it: That feedback is useless to developers.

So ya, I'm not surprised you get a snarky reply to it.

A warrior solod P1N. That happening doesn't mean that all classes except warrior are unnecessary.(although one of my friends would certainly agree with that sentiment...)

I get that you're upset... but throwing insults like calling healers 'pointless' and extremes around and using extreme outliers to "prove a point" isn't helpful to anyone.

I don't know why people struggle so much with the idea of keeping their feedback personal and self-reflective rather than speaking in extremes or generalizations of large groups of people they falsely assume are monoliths rather than groups of individuals...
