    The reason many healers can't manage Normal is because the veterans quit doing that content and all you have left in Duty Finder are the crayon eating Curebots.

    If healing had some challenge and engagement, you'd have actual healers in your groups. If healing is faceroll you only attract players who like being able to do a bare minimum.

    I mean yeah, that's what tends to happen when a game expects not even the bare minimum amount of competency to clear content. On top of that, healers are rewarded with vastly inferior gameplay for playing their role well. So it's only natural that experienced healers move on. There's no depth to explore, or rotations to optimise.

    After hitting 90 on all the healers, all jobs really, there is just certain content I Will.Not.Do. anymore because of how bad of an experience it is.

    5/6/7/8 roulette. Terrible rewards for the time invested.
    Trials? Nope.
    MSQ? Definitely not.
    Mentor Roulette as a tank? I don't want an EX today with people who are severely undergeared and un-prepared for that content.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    You also have to take into account how annoying it can get, which deters some vets from even queuing as a healer.

    Trials/raids? Congratulations, your co-healer is crap and you're going to have to hard carry this group who is getting hit by everything.
    Dungeons in general? Congratulations, your tank/dps are horrible and will either get hit by everything and not use cooldowns, or the dps will be so bad to where you're at the top of the DPS chart and can tell (I should not be 2nd aggro in a 90 dungeon, tyvm).
    Mentor? Congrats on getting that EX you never wanted to see again, with a group that's learning how to do the fight via DF instead of PF.
