I was a raid healer in World of Warcraft for 15 years before quitting it when the clear sexist attitude toward females became overwhelming (I left about 5 months before the whole scandal hit about Blizzard and how they treated women.) Won't have my money helping a company like that. Took up FF14 because I had friends playing it and they had for years and had been trying to get me to play...so...I made the move.

Why WoW turned into a garbage game aside from the sexist misoginistic junk.
1. They started dumbing the game down at the end of Wrath of the Lich King. Taking away talent tree depth, homogenizing classes. My Discipline Priest abruptly didn't play that differently from my Druid or Paladin healers. Took the fun out, when the diversity of playstyle was no longer sharp and clear from one class to the next.
2. They started catering to elitists that wanted faster easier play so they could slam through content and ignore mechanics. It took the challenge out. Sure you did things faster, but...that wasn't fun.
3. It started becoming more about speed. The Mythic plus attitude "Go go go!" made running things...miserable. All that mattered was how fast you were, how many mechanics you could ignore.(I'm seeing this in FFXIV now. Labyrinth of the Ancients is becoming a cess pool of toxic players who bash others if they want to do the mechanics, wait for people to watch Cutscenes, or just wait for everyone to reach the next boss, so is World of Darkness, where Mentors seem to endlessly be yelling at other players "Everyone in the belly, you don't worry about teams anymore looser" is something I've seen worded various ways out of Mentors left and right in there.)
4. Developers encouraging the toxic behavior by keeping things streamlined and easy so people could ignore mechanics if they were geared enough and enough of their buddies supported them doing that. WoW became far less fun to play when you started seeing groups clearing content without other classes. Like all tank groups clearing a raid, all DPS groups..healers started becoming less important and instead of putting things in place so that couldn't happen, so no Tank or DPS class could survive that level content without the support of a healer...they made healers into DPS hybrids and suddenly people started bashing healers for healing and yelling at them to dps and do more damage AND keep everyone alive while they ignored mechanics.This is something I'm seeing more and more of in FFxiv I was in a raid just this last week and the WHM said in party "Hey Sage, I'm not healing I'm working on my DPS so ya know...keep everyone up and watch the tank or we're in trouble." and when I protested? I was the one who got snapped at and told healers should be dpsing it was more important than them healing so the run went faster...go go go...just like World of Warcraft. It's....really sickening and saddening to see.
