It is the single most important thing to me in FFXIV that this feedback be addressed.
So was the change in Abyssos where they increased the amount of healing not enough? I'm not a healer main so I honestly don't know.

It has become clear to me that there is no job in FFXIV currently that truly makes me happy and makes me enjoy the game the way Scholar used to.
I do agree that Scholar's damage is a bit too samey. Broil spam + Energy Drain, Energy Drain, Energy Drain, Aetherflow, Energy Drain, Energy Drain, Energy Drain, Dissipation, Energy Drain, Energy Drain, Energy Drain.

What affects it is that Chain Strategem is just a debuff. If it was replaced with attacks it would add just a slight bit more variety to Scholar's attacks.

If this criticism is not addressed by Dawntrail, I am considering leaving FFXIV for good.
I suppose we will see in the third fanfest and the Media Tour a month before release, but so far there hasn't been an indication, other than the general comment that a lot of jobs will get extensive changes.

There are many of you who may think my reaction is extreme
Not really, many people think that, play less or quit because of it. I think SE is actually content for players to just subscribe for MSQ. I'm not saying it should or shouldn't be like that, it just seems like they are content with it and aren't preoccupied with keeping you playing indefinitely like WoW and other MMORPGs.

That's why everyone who sticks around makes their own content out of being a completionist, achievement hunting, mount hunting, hunts, roleplaying, old content or social FC events be they RP or content.
