FF14 devs just keep doing your thing because my god

There are several things I'd praise FFXIV for it's true.

Having the worst designed healer classes I've ever seen in a video game and a combat development dictate to lobotomize, simplify, and drag every class down closer to drooling on one button for the duration of an encounter are -not- among them.

Must not have played WoW much then, can't give you several instances where blizzard has had similar results, as early as the burning crusade where hunters rotation was so easy you could macro it to your mouse wheel get good parses, vanilla warrior design literally holding threat you couldn't just hit sunder armor entire encounters and not pressing single button, MoP disc priest literally just Spam your attack and it's smart heals for you, mop throne of thunder protection paladin. Oh you wanted to heal sorry this paladin will be near topping damage and tank and be topping healers and even got two paladin tanks oh Lord.

Trying to compare current FF14 to Burning Crusade (released in 2007) is a bit silly. Besides the inherently different combat systems make them not really comparable in the first place.

You would want to compare current WoW to current FF14, and in that regard, things like healers are far more in depth in WoW.
