The reason being because that is not how any content in the game is structured thus far, which means what you’d be asking for is a redesigning of the entire game. You’d need every fight that has ever been made to accommodate that increase in healing demand. You can just switch to WOW healing at level 91+

Having time to DPS as a healer is just how FFXIV is. It’s how it’s always been. I don’t get why people can’t just accept that, including the design team. Why fight the nature of the game especially when that’s something that made FFXIV’s healers unique? WOW already exists. Why does FFXIV need to be WOW for people when it can just be FFXIV?
And as I stated a few post above, I am not against adding more DPS-buttons. Please, do point to where I said to turn XIV into WoW. All I said was that we could look to WoW for ideas/changes and apply them to XIV in a way that would suit XIV, and that a 1-on-1 copy would never work and should not be what we want to achieve. I just want is to heal more. Not heal all the time either, but also not heal for only less than 10% of an entire fight and/or dungeon. I just feel that the scale is tipped too much in one direction, thus we barely get to heal.

What's the point of a Healer role when there's barely anything to heal? I'm not complaining about having to DPS as a Healer, you're accusing me of being against something that I find completely normal and that I am also advocating to do when I teach newer peole to heal here. Again, all I am asking for is for the healing requirement to be increased so it doesn't stay the way it is now. And if that comes paired with more DPS-buttons great! Everyone's happy. And if not, I'll count my losses and still play the role regardless.
