#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Gemina]

You know, it warms the heart to see so many people coming into threads with a premise that they disagree with and mock everyone who agrees with the OP.

Truly the greatest MMO community in the known universe, WoW could never.

It was to be expected, but it's ok. Anticipation of the naysayers only motivated me even further to start the thread and support the strike. So many continue to think the purpose of the strike is to goad the development team into changing the state of healing, or to lengthen queue times. While the truth is we are striking because of the status quo and the double downing of the encroachment on the healer role. We have the power to refuse to participate any further and no matter how much they shame and ridicule, it can't be taken from us. What can be taken from us has already been taken from us. That is why we are striking, and we don't need the support from those who just want to kick dirt in our faces.

The fact of the matter is that those who choose to participate in the strike are healers who genuinely care about the role and their party members. The community losing even one of these healers is already too high. It does not matter if there are still 10 healers in the queues for every healer that strikes because substance will always weigh more than quantity and I confident this will be felt during duties. Tanks and certain DPS have been given abilities to help sustain themselves and the group, and they're going to need it. This is the truth that the naysayers will always deny, and never accept. They won't be receiving heals from me come DT, and that is just fine by me.
