Helare shortage in PF: what would bring you back?

[Renathras]

Unfortunately, based on the healer shortage and P8S being overtuned, I legitimately worry the next tier will be substantially easier. I just can't see the devs looking at the current landscape and finally concluding it's their healer design which is flawed. Nope. It's just too hard.

I do have a question about this:

Why are healers - who complained healing was too simple and braindead in P1-4 - not healing in P5-8?

What I mean is, the people content with P1-4 are obviously quitting because they think it's too hard. People said the folks saying it was too easy would come back if it was harder. Most of you who don't like simple healing seem to like that P5-8 is harder. So why is there a shortage if all the "want it to be harder" people are now healing?

Is it because the number of "want it easier" healers is actually the larger number?

Not asking to be pointed, just curious what the reason is. I get the DPS rotations haven't changed, but the difficulty has, and that was supposedly the complaint - that healers were too baby mode easy. Well that isn't as true now, so why haven't the non-baby healers stepped up to fill in the gap left by the baby healers quitting? Or are there simply not enough of them to fill a hole that large?

EDIT:

And the reason I ask this is it's actually significant:

If not enough "want it harder" non-baby mode healers step in to fill the gap, so the gap actually gets bigger, SE is likely to make future content easier, seeing that making it harder actually made the healer shortage worse, not better. So for anyone who DOES want healers to be harder, you guys need to start (if you haven't) healing this tier. Because SE is probably looking at this as the "medium" step. So while people who want it harder AND want complex DPS rotations on healers don't have the DPS rotation piece, if they don't step into the gap created by the harder piece in large numbers, SE's likely reaction is to revert, not continue changing.
