#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Aravell]

I think their opinions and/or criticisms are valid. I am a casual player, and while I cannot relate to majority of the experiences that has been said throughout this thread, I think input from the other side of the spectrum is just as useful. Just from my experiences as a SCH main in the past, I mainly did the story and duty finder for tomes and such, and I couldn't afford to be bored in that kind of content because the tank would die. I now play DPS primarily cause healing in general became too stressful for me; healer anxiety is a real thing for this reason. Some people enjoy the pressure, and some don't. Some people are great at the game and don't feel the stress me and others have toward healing, and that's okay. So it's only natural that these players want more from the healer role and I can get behind that. I just do not want casuals to feel like they don't have a say in a discussion where it can possibly affect them too, regardless of how they feel about the healer role. This most likely wasn't your intent, but I just wanted get this out in the ether.

I think the disagreements of others is very valid, as long as it's expressed cordially. If someone simply says "I love current healers, so I won't be participating in this", that's fine as a difference of opinion. I think everyone can respect that.

What's not fine is expressing disagreement in the form of "lol lmao, this game isn't for you, quit and go back to WoW". That's an extreme example, granted, but a lot of people have come along and started viciously mocking people in this thread with no provocation, that is the fact of the situation at the moment and it's making the community appear very unpleasant. You can just read through and see how many people call us names and also call us toxic because we're burdening the DPS players with longer queues, all because we choose to not play a role in an MMORPG.
