I'm not sure why the word "objective" brushes you the wrong way, but it is what it is. There are correct ways to play these jobs, and incorrect ways. Do I care if you play incorrectly and find it fun? Not at all, go right ahead. You cannot do that in Savage. You are forced to play correctly in Savage. That was my point that you said you "don't care if Savage requires DPS" and yet you're getting upset about people saying that healers are objectively 1 button monsters. They are. Just because you believe that we cannot objective say how healers are meant to be played, doesn't make that so. Job kits are tuned around Savage and Ultimate, so naturally how you're expected to perform there is the correct way in all content, even if you can clear suboptimally and never know it in the "casual" content. DPS jobs do not play different mechanically, tank jobs don't as well, and healers aren't a special exception.

I'm not saying you can't put shields and regens and keep everyone topped off, if that's how you have fun, go for it. I genuinely do not want you to stop being able to have fun doing that. You can't do that in Savage, but if you don't want to do it, it doesn't matter. But for those of us who do want to improve, there's a line where we can't just go back to playing incorrectly. I want to do as good as I can in any bit of content, so I DPS as much as possible in normal content. Would I love to be healing, of course! But they aren't designing the content for us to be able to do that even in the modes where you're expected to perform to the best of your abilities on how the fights want you to, because they are tuned with healers doing as much DPS as possible. This is why we complain and this is why we continually bring up the point that this will not affect people who find pressing Glare over and over to be "fun" at all, nor will it impact your ability to freestyle SGE in casual content. We just want to have the same ability to have fun in all content while trying our best that you are by playing how you want.
And maybe youd have more people on board if you and others in the forums weren't asses to folks (that bit about "if you want to play wrong" being a prime example) who see and experience things differently. I personally never see folks who like healing as is be dickish to folks who hate it rn (not saying it doesn't happen, it's just far less common). If folks were TRULY playing wrong you'd see repercussions from it. What I think you're personally confusing is "playing wrong" and "playing at Savage/Ultimate standard" (which again isn't most of the games content).

Complain and make threads all you want, just don't crap on others who may disagree with you
