TOP cleared with no healers

[Rehayem]

Healers and tanks is the least played role in every mmo, it's not just an ffxiv thing..
There will always be more players who play dps than tank/heal..
So it's not uncommon or surprising to see.. bc thats how it has been since forever..

Clearly you haven't played enough MMORPGs then, a prime example is Aion, where majority of characters were actually healers and support characters.

No they weren’t. I got begged to run things on my Cleric all the time and lack of healers for groups was a thing.

Simply wrong. 10k Priest class but 17k people spread over the dps classes. Even more if you count gladiators who are typically dps only. So there. Hard numbers your wrong and so are the people who agree with you who probably didn’t even play Aion.

Okay I had to reply to this one, because it's hilarious. You're just literally proving my point about my previous statement, and yet you're deep teeth in trying to prove something you don't seem to correctly understand. For someone who "played" Aion for 9 years, you're just showing me a graph where a big chunk of characters are Clerics and Chanters, which are healers/support. 10k Priests is actually an insane number compared to 17k DPS (including Templars, which are tanks)

The entirety of point of this entire thread is: healers are so fucking numb and boring in FFXIV, that playing another MMORPG just to be a true healer is better than FFXIV in any retrospective. I'm going to die on this hill, and you can keep trying to bicker with me, my statement still stands.

Also, if you're out of posts, then considering slowing down and wait for it to reset, but stop editing your posts because half the time I'm just not going to notice any new added info.

And, hilariously you are still wrong. They aren’t a majority. And now you are deflecting. I also didn’t include gladiators or Templars. I was being generous not including gladiators as most are dps. If I did the disparity would be higher. You can reread what I wrote or learn to add up the chart yourself.

You continue to say I do not understand when I know what the word majority means. You don’t.

Ps to your ps that you edited in: you are grasping as you are still wrong.

Because the system in Aion was nothing like we have here, synced runs, roulettes and all of that. In Aion, if you were 9 levels above a mob, you would not get drops from monsters, forcing you to either make alts or just buy stuff from the market.

Endgame in Aion was PvP mostly, not PvE, so of course the majority of players were at max level doing that type of content, not low level dungeons.

I’m not talking about low level dungeons. I’m talking about everything. I played Aion for 9 years.

Then maybe you didn't play it enough to understand, lack of healers was always a thing, and yet the majority of characters were clerics and chanters. This is coming from me, who mained cleric for years.

Edit: See above edit. Numbers show you are wrong. Also barking up the wrong tree thinking I didn’t play enough to understand. I think you aren’t understanding what a majority means.

Anyway, I agree with the person you responded to. Every trinity-based mmo I’ve ever played people spamming zone chat for tanks and healers, including Aion, and the good ones having their pick of whatever they felt like doing.

[Rehayem]

No, the majority of characters out of 11 classes at the time I left weren’t clerics and chanters. There was a good number of them but they weren’t the majority. For quite a few years ni one even wanted to play Chanter early on.

People wanted geared clerics, and majority of people had their own statics and legions to run things with. I don't know what server you played on, but I've had so many people demand geared clerics for PvP (not PvE, mind you) that it was insane, and if you were not geared enough, you wouldn't be picked. My statement still stands.

PS.- Since you keep editing your post constantly attempting to hide your original statements, let me tell you one thing: the amount of created characters does not represent actual active players currently in game, and the same truth applies to FFXIV, however, we have 4 tanks, 4 healers and 11 DPS, showing a Tank majority over Healers proves how bad healers in this game actually are.
