Not some old jaded healers complaining on the forums because they got too good at the game. <- I jest as I say this, but it makes perfect sense as to how they see things. They are not worried about us, because baby healers and good healers are two different worlds, and SE just does not know how to balance that without toxic behavior brewing from it. -shrugs-
Actually, I don't think it's the baby healers that are the problem; I've only been here since ShB and I perform better than so many mentors who just idle cure 1 spam or don't use their tank aoe rotation. Of course, I've also seen a good amount of good mentors. Still pissed they removed Sleeve Draw. I'm falling tf asleep playing SCH and SGE because they're the same job with a different coat of paint, and the only difference is that SGE is moderately more enjoyable due to the lack of clunk and better pub carrying. I get way more enjoyment playing tank and even then, PLDs rotation became a snorefest ever since it got emergency reworked to fit into the boring as sin 2 minute meta.
