Also, wanting SGE to be the DPSy healer is a fair request, that's how they were advertised at first before ending as scholar 2.0 after all. However, OP is calling for changes to the healing spectrum in itself and not just to this class, and you pushed for it with that terrible reasoning, which was the main thing that drove me to post.



That depends on a particular point, which is: Why are these changes being called?
The majority of the replies and reasoning given is that it is "because it's boring", or "because I don't have fun playing it" or "I want more button to press on downtime!". That means this is being called because of some whim of certain people. It's not a balancing issue, it's not a mechanical issue, the healers, as it is, have no intrinsic issue to justify reworking the whole healing class spectrum. If you were the game lead, would you risk applying changes like this that would affect the entirety of the player population because of such frivolous reasons of a few people?
That said, I also don't understand the reasoning behind AST and DRG rework, but if the dev team thought it was due there's probably a good reason behind it besides "it's boring".

So, let's take another example. Let's say that you were a car manufacturer. You could make a Prius, or a Yaris, or an Echo. They get the job done, right? They get you where you want to go, they're quite reliable as well - but exciting? Not for me, nor for millions of other car drivers- but there's quite a few people that have bought them.

So this is why any job deserves and should be re-examined when people rightfully provide their feedback, saying that it isn't fun. No one should dismiss or demean them by stating that their opinions are "frivolous' or that certain people have "whims", unless you have some secret knowledge as to their reasoning (which I seriously doubt) their motivations are as deserving as anyone else, to believe otherwise is extremely divisive not to mention presumptuous.
