Has anyone quit healing?

[Recon1o6]

Yoshi said 'I don't get it, we gave you guys what you asked for, what do you actually want' because some people, who have no foresight or consideration for the longterm ramifications and consequences of such a change, asked for 'more healing required'. I've said before, I'd be fine with 'more healing required' as a change to the game. I have the skill to keep up. But massive swathes of the playerbase has been whiplash'd into the realization that they can't keep up, even with a bump as small as the one we got. Yoshi's issue is that either he doesn't realize there's multiple 'schools of thought' on what the best direction for healers is, or that he does realize that, and just followed the side that is loudest, not necessarily the one that is 'correct'. Now, I don't think there is a 'correct' in all of this. But there's definitely an 'incorrect', and we saw it this tier.

Hello, I have returned after quitting the game after 6.2, friend of mine paid my sub for a month since he hasn't finished shb story let alone ew and wanted a friend

Let me clarify: my question in the 6.1 live letter was part mistranslated and part ignored (it was the highest upvoted question across both english and japanese)
Yoshida only focused on the fact tanks didn't need healers anymore. He completely ignored the part about asking for more dps options.

Next time there's a LL q&a, I'm going to attempt again on more dps actions.

The good news is that its getting healer attention on the dev team. Yoshida was asked again recently by two jpn players and both said they liked the increased healing requirements. Sadly neither of them mentioned anything about ast cards and dps buttons


Edit: the current situation is, yoshida knows that a lot of Ast's left because of the cards and healer dps removal (see shb launch interviews)
He genuinely didn't think healing is so easy (Eden interview and EW q&as)
On some level he knows there's widespread dissatisfaction in the role (lowest player count and falling. Feedback he's received states players like the increased healings contradicting his thinking that its too hard)

If one was to be charitable, then he's just not connecting the dots. If one is not, then he's being stubborn or ignorant about the actual causes of healer shortages
