Which is not what truncate means.

I'm not going to keep arguing this because it's a stupid semantic argument.

Which is the entire reason I support the "4 Healers Model" in the first place.

The reality is probably more like this:

Group A: Wants more complex dps kits on Healers (this is a lot of the English vocal complainers)
Group B: Wants more interesting utility/buffing on Healers (this is especially true of AST players)
Group C: Wants Healers to shift to more healing across all content (this seems to be the JP vocal complainers)
Group D: Wants Healers to stay as they are
Group E: Wants Healers to only heal
Group D: Wants Healers to get more simple
Group F: Wants some kind of hybrid of some of the above
Group G: Likely has a preference of some kind but doesn't care if things change in one of the other directions
Group H: Likely has a preference of some kind and REALLY cares if things change in a way they dislike

These groups are all at different percentage expressions, and it's very unlikely any one of them is a majority. It probably splits closer into 1/4ths across people that want more damage, more buffing, more healing, and things to stay about the same. But we really don't know.

The problem is you look at it as just three groups; those who want more complex damage, those who don't want it but don't mind it, and me being the only person in the entire game that wants even one healer to stay the same.

This is why your assessment is incorrect.
