A summary of healer issues

[Renathras]

The long and biased one that you made you mean because those questions are loaded heavily to fit your narrative more than anything else.

Uh...the first three questions were made by Ty. The only change I made was adding the 4th question so we could see how far people would go in adding more damage rotation, and making the first questions less biased (his original ones were biased) by allowing both answers. Instead of "Do you dislike healers? If you don't hate them, please justify why you don't hate them" with "Do you like/dislike healers? Can you explain your perspective there?", which was me removing bias, not adding bias.

This means if you think they were biased, you must think Ty's survey is biased, while you're using it for your data point. The initial iteration (though he may have changed it) REQUIRED you to answer something under "What would you add?", so people who don't really want anything added had to pick something, and a lot picked the top option (add DPS abilities). So it's funny you cite a more biased survey to try and discount a less biased one, and when the core questions of the less biased one were written by the same guy. XD

This is why ad hominem (attack on the person instead of the argument) fallacies are bad...

I should also further note Ty was the one who pointed out - to which I agreed - in the Healer survey thread, no less, that the results of any survey we put here or on Reddit would be against Healers as they are and in favor of more damage abilities since that's what players dissatisfied with the current state of Healers (who are the more likely to frequent message boards to talk/complain about what they dislike) would say. So we already acknowledged from the jump that the results were going to be biased towards "Healers right now are bad/need changing/need more DPS buttons".

Using AIN as a metric for any argument about the current state of the game is laughable.

Ah, right.

So in the same post you accuse me of having a biased survey despite the questions originating from Ty (I only made them neutral by allowing both like/dislike), you attack me for using the only semi-available metric we have to determine whether there are actually shortages or not, with your source that it's wrong being..."Trust me, bro"?

This just in: whether your job interacts with the content you do in any meaningful way is fun or not is all down to "interpretation".

This will literally always be true, yes. Moreover, "interacts with the content you do in any meaningful way"? Define that EXPLICITLY. Because that's probably also down to interpretation based on what the player finds meaningful. It's not "sophistry" (ad hominem fallacy again) to point out that fun is subjective.

Seriously, I'll ask you this question:

Do you think fun is NOT subjective?

If I say something that is fun TO ME, you think that it WILL be fun TO EVERYONE ELSE because to suggest it wouldn't be is "sophistry"?

Annnd the rest of your post is the usual hysterical hyperbolic lying about what I even have suggested is good, so I won't bother responding to any of that. I absolutely love (/sarcasm) how you get so many upvotes for demonstrably lying. I didn't realize so many people like lies.

I guess as long as they're lies that agree with them/attack someone they disagree with. I can definitely believe THAT is true. While I do wish people would stop upvoting posts that amount to "personal attack with added outright lies", if that's really the kind of people you want to be, by all means, go for it. It doesn't exactly increase your credibility, though. But hey, you do you.

Seriously, I bet if I made another account, posted that Healers suck and need more DPS abilities, and then outright lied about my positions (attacking the Renathras account), even with COMPLETE lies, you guys would upvote those comments, lol

Huh? TOP is still on content, it came out this patch. It does not qualify as dead content. If people are having trouble recruiting healers for it, it is for other reasons, not because people have 'done it to death'. Most people attempting TOP still have not cleared.

I meant Savage and older Ultimates.

For TOP specifically, you have the issue that people still progging it already have people they're working on it with, so they aren't in the pool of people to recruit much. That is, they're "already taken". And TOP is a few months old. It's current patch, but the people who really REALLY wanted to clear it likely either have already or have a group they've been working with to do so for a few months already (again, not in the recruit pool).

The initial iteration (though he may have changed it) REQUIRED you to answer something under "What would you add?"

Can you cite a job that did not receive any new actions of any kind at the release of one of the past expansions?

EDIT: Also, the reason why I wanted to require answers was specifically so that percentages took into consideration those who did not want xyz. If you could skip that question, then it would seem like the requests for more attack buttons would be even higher. I did it specifically for your benefit actually, so that the desire to see more attack options wasn't being exaggerated by a lack of votes. You voting "other" and not hitting "more attack options" reduces the total percentage of players choosing that option.

Only Question I added was the 4th one

Which is the bias question and even your responses to some people's opinion was leading them towards an answer that you agree with. It's a bias post.

you attack me

Here's an attack for you

THDD vs T3DPS

Here is your thread from reddit claiming that T3DPS wasn't all that better than THDD. Despite being called out on it both here and on Reddit, you STILL attempted to use the misinformation from it to argue against someone else on a separate thread that you also made

Which role isn't needed

You are a deceitful person that can't even accept when you are wrong so you just try to either make it as an attack against you or try and spin it like you weren't wrong.

"I sit corrected...ish...?

FFLogs seems to do something weird for some - but not ALL - 1T/3D runs where it will replace a doubled party member (e.g. 2x BLMs) with a random healer of its choosing. It's not even always the same healer Job.

Looking at Dead Ends, the first party with an ACTUAL healer appears to be #66, which is...okay, it's only 2 mins slower, but meh. So semi-correction."

THAT ISN"T A SEMI-CORRECTION!!! You were flat out wrong and still tried to spin it like you weren't. Why should anyone here believe any argument you make is not in poor faith? At this point, it's not even worth engaging you in an argument because anything and everything is an attack if it doesn't suit your argument.

You're a deceitful human being and that IS an attack on you.
