#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Kissune]

This is still going on? You do realise your strike is rendered moot entirely by the trust system right?

And then also people who don't frequent forums at all will be there for the trials.

If you think its pointless, why are you here?

No one here actually thinks that doing this strike will grind the game to a screeching halt come dawntrail. You're welcome to do trusts, please, go ahead and tell me just how much fun those are. As for the trials... Of course you will find healer players, or people changing to healer for the quick queues (assuming they've been doing the msq as them...)... But queues will be very long for DPS.

This isn't about 'punishing people for playing the game', it's about sending a message to the devs that a lot of people who have stuck with this role for a very long time are unsatisfied with the game and are willing to take action over it. You can sit here and smugly point out how people will find queues and clear content anyways, but we already know that. It's not the point.

But go ahead, feel free to stick around and continue being rude and dismissive for no reason. Does it make you feel better about yourself?

This ... it's about sending a message to the devs that a lot of people who have stuck with this role for a very long time are unsatisfied with the game and are willing to take action over it.

Please quantify what, in your opinion, constitutes "a lot of people," out of a player base of millions of subscribers and an estimated half a million daily users.

Personally, I think less than 1% of either of those numbers (e.g. less than 5000 people) doesn't count as "a lot:" ordinary variations in weather probably make a bigger difference in the number of healers queuing for duties.

And if the effect of your "strike" is less than the effect of the weather, why would SE even notice?

I have 6 EoC characters, all SGE main, all iL640 or better. I had been planning to initially just level one SGE when DT launches, but with the opportunity this "strike" is presenting for faster green queue pops, I'll probably do my roulettes on all 6. So, thanks!
