Healer Survey:

[Sebazy]

I've got zero faith in MrHappy asking anything that Yoshida doesn't want to be asked about. When Zepla is doing a considerably better job of going off script and pushing Yoshida for answers, you know something's wrong.

I don't watch a lot of his content, truthfully. I feel like he tends to be more milquetoast about any given stance on things, and I only say that because it seems like he backpedals on his own thoughts at times, but I don't necessarily disagree with him on everything either. I'm just more curious if it's something that would catch his attention because I'm just curious about how his response to some feedback would be and that it would also potentially add more submissions, and I am curious myself about how more people feel about various jobs. Though that can be a double-edged sword if you have someone influencing the poll as well.

Mr. Happy actually asked Yoshida about healer DPS during the 6.0 media tour and mentioned that the community calls White Mage "glare mage" because the DPS options are boring; and he even said he wasn't satisfied with Yoshida's answer of "we're happy with the way healers are" and would be asking the question again in the future, for what it's worth.

So with the new patch on the horizon, something that's interesting is that MrHappy usually takes a look at the general discussion forums around that time. Not gonna lie, I'm a little curious if the job design feedback thread will get noticed if he does, and what knock-on effects that might include. There's still some good discussions going on and submissions are still trickling in a few a day or so depending on the job.

He did one a week or so ago. The "Hot Takes" thread.

Yup.

Just because someone doesn't hate the game doesn't make them a shill.

I was referring to the 5.0 tour. Mr Happy sidestepped all of the healer rumblings over the prior leaks and demonstration builds then later explained that he along with all the other influencers were somewhat limited in what they could ask and the replies they could expect.

I never said he was a shill. I said he wouldn't ask Yoshida these sorts of questions because Yoshida won't answer them.

He confirmed as much himself on multiple occasions, make of that what you will.

Zepla's Shadowbringer's interview was good because she appeared to take the preplanned script and threw it out of the window, instead putting Yoshida on the spot with stuff he didn't seem to be prepared for. It made for a much more honest and candid feeling interview TBH.

Ah. I saw you say "that Yoshida doesn't want to be asked about". If you meant "that he knew Yoshida probably wouldn't answer (or answer directly)", then perhaps so. Though I don't think that's as negative as you present it to be, he just doesn't want to waste valuable Q&A time/slots on something that won't get an answer anyway in that case.

I never felt Zepla's was that off the wall, but...
