Here is also three seperate representations of the problem if you want actual data

Link 1 and link 2, SCH and AST two of the three least popular jobs in ShB after the great healer lobotomisation, the third of those three jobs got completely reworked twice in the intervening time, WHM maintains a level of popularity due to starting at level 1 and actually having a semi popular change implemented between 4.0-5.0, also note that outside of them redoing lily’s WHM was the healer that changed the least between the two, only losing aero 1 and 3, dumping off the old healer role actions and getting a rework on the wonky plenary (which made it a better job)

Link 3 as of the most recent census every other role averages 1 million people with a particular job capped, healers average just over 900,000, so even though you can legit cap a job cure 1 spamming there is still a deficit of roughly 100,000 individual players for the healer role who won’t even interact with them enough to cap them in basic content

Now let’s compare to 3.0

This data is a bit wonky because it doesn’t split SCH with SMN but if we look at this data AST is the most popular of the new jobs in 3.0 and WHM and SCH share high popularity in their role compared to say pugilist, dragoon and warrior

Now I’ll attach the stipulation that most of this data is old, however that is only because newer data doesn’t exist, however no event has occurred in the intervening time that seems likely to have strongly affected these results (the census seems to show that SGE just pulled from the existing pool of shrinking healers, not bringing people to healer)

Hard evidence given for people not liking the absolute state of healers

INB4 "B-b-but the people who took that 5.0 poll are just a group of malcontents in a negative echo chamber!"

Edit:

3 years old? Got any more recent data?

Reread this:
