Yoshi-P: "If you want more engaging content, go play Ultimate"

[Payotz]

Again, "to you". What you might consider skill floor/ceiling others might NOT consider fun or engaging. Personally, I've never liked the more complex classes in League of Legends. Many people don't. The most played Jobs in FFXIV also happened to be the simplest ones in each role. The reason for that isn't because "people are lazy" as the Sylphie-haters will tell you. It's because not everyone wants or enjoys hypercomplex things. Just like not every DPSer in this game plays BLM, not everyone likes that sort of gameplay; many people like current gameplay.

Oh I don't disagree with that at all. Simply put, the core playerbase has been replaced by the people who DO like the current healer design. It's kinda what I've said here:

I don't think they can even do an overhaul, cause that would require them remaking all the fights and content from HW -> EW. I honestly don't really know what they can do other than to preserve the game state from ARR -> EW and try and make kits that function differently 7.0 onwards. This would of course, alienate a lot of the core healers that they've gotten from the initial ShB combat overhaul, and that's not really a thing I would wish onto anyone. It sucks to have something you love taken away from you.

That's why I don't think an actual true overhaul could happen. The ship has sailed. SE has been cultivating a core playerbase that prefer this type of casual, light "healing" gameplay for about 4-5 years and chasing away all the other parts of the community. There is no way I can advocate for alienating even that considering they spend a lot more money on the mogstation than the ones who just raidlog all day.

No, I'm against a total and complete overhaul of healing and all Healer Jobs. I highly support some (but not all) Healer Jobs to be adjusted to be more distinct and engage players that enjoy different playstyles. It's been my position for over a year now.

Oh then this is where I would disagree. You are one of the core players and it's clear that you are the target audience for these changes.
I don't think there's any point of discussion any longer because simply put, we just simply disagree.
