Healers need an overhaul

[IDontPetLalas]

I never said I did. I wasn't even replying to you, was I?
Indeed, I don't know you, so I don't even care what makes you happy.

Indeed, you seem to make it abundantly clear that you don't care what makes other people happy in a public forum thread that concerns itself about what could make the healer community happier, not a specific healer.

It's not "our" game, it's their game (morally, legally and practically) and we just subscribe to it.

Now this is quite funny. What does this even mean, when you think about it? yes, we know SE owns the game - but are you saying that it is immoral to provide feedback or to disagree with their design approach? It's impractical to do so? Why? What are the consequences and to whom, does someone get hurt?

Would you walk into a McDonald's and proclaim how much they need you and you need them? Of course not. Do you pen missives to Netflix or Disney+ or Amazon prime waxing eloquent about your mutual needs? Again, of course not.
Same with FFXIV.

I don't need SE: I can find other games to play.
And they don't need me, in particular, and maybe not even people with my tastes: they have plenty of other subscribers. The same is almost certainly true for you.

You know this really had me shaking my head, I don't doubt that you can find other games to play, of course you can. So can any one of us. However once a company starts down the path of "hey, I have plenty of customers , I don't need to think about him, or her" it isn't such a far path to thinking about whole groups of customers or whole types of customers like that, and before you know it- it might not be long before you don't have to worry about customers. At all.

If every single poster that complains about healers in the English-language forums quit tomorrow, if SE noticed at all, they'd probably just notice how much less contentious the forums are.

and your last comment regarding posts relates to what exactly? I mean no one is forcing you to even read this thread, and this is one thread among many that could be judged as contentious. So do you have any helpful suggestion at all to make, or are you going to stick to "life is good, no point in saying anything"?
