We had some issues too back then (balance, useless job gauges, incredibly tight dps checks, over the top aggro interactions with overheal, clunky cleric stance activation/deactivation) , but at least the healing jobs had more interesting things to do.

The devs justified the massive pruning of our skills in ShB, saying it would be a baseline to rebuild our kits.

That was a lie. We got our filler tools taken away and replaced with nothing.
We got our healing time taken away and replaced with nothing.

Veteran healers want their engaging gameplay back.
New healer as well. I never played during Shb, popped on FFXIV with Shadowbringer. You don't need to have a lot of experience to actually point the fact that 1-1-1-1 during 90% of a fight isn't... Top gameplay design.
