Isn't this what 99% of you self-titled "god-tier healers" do when other people state they like how healers currently are? Just above were people doing that to the JP players lmao.


WOOSH

Huh, I don't remember calling myself a god-tier healer.....

I have been told I wasn't a real healer many times by people who enjoy current healers though. So, nice of you to project, I guess.

Saying this is "popular" is a bit of a stretch when, even if you topped one thousand people in the Discord, you're still less than a single percent of the active player base. 169 out of 550k is like 0.03%? Somewhere around there, this unfortunately won't gain much traction because with new players coming, returning players, players who don't care will come in to fill the void left by people here not playing a healer, or playing the game for that matter. For anything to change, you need a significant portion of the player base to do anything, and not just a few thousand, you need tens of thousands of players to actually do it before there might be an actual effect felt.

People keep throwing the lump sum of 550k active players around, but how many of that 550k even plays healers at all? I'd wager that most of that number only play DPS jobs, some may even be one-tricks and they'll never touch a healer job.

Realistically, healer has never been a very popular role. Out of 550k, I'd say that healer mains might only make up less than 1/3, 150k max probably. 169 out of a maximum of 150k is quite a nice number. And that's not even taking into account the people who elect to quit playing healer in DT who also don't have a forum account and don't know this is happening, they're participating too.

I was going to attempt to respond in my other post, but the 3000 character limit said no. So here, that 550k number isn't even accurate to the amount of endgame players on NA, we do have a number, and that sits at ~637k, and it grows higher each day more than likely, how many of those people are healers? Who knows, could be flex players who play all 3, or players who play DPS + healer, or tank + healer, or DPS + tank, I think the 550k is just average monthly users rather peak CCUs that probably hit over a million at least. Regardless, maybe they'll actually do something about the fact that healers continuously get the most boring updates, and perhaps they'll look at every other single job and go "This is not good balance."
