this thread is literal parody turned reality.

And yet you keep giving us free boosts. Thanks for helping.

If the moderators and devs see a 100+ pages long thread with people bickering back and forth, they might just roll my eyes and look for more serious threads with easy to read feedbacks.
Just because a thread stays on the front page doesn't mean it's going to be taken more seriously.

Perhaps for them it's like the Gong Show, where the point of getting people up on the stage is for those people to embarrass themselves.
High visibility isn't always an asset.

But really, do you think you can get them to stop with your post ?
And is that really your intent: to silence people who disagree with you?

if people REALLY. really thought this wasn't going to do anything they wouldn't be constantly popping in here and crying at us to not do it.

so like i said earlier today. if you're worried your queues will be so much longer because a portion of the people who main healer are no longer queuing as healer, i will GLADLY applaud you if you try and main healer for the ENTIRETY of dawntrail.

i don't think you will though.

prove me wrong, i'd love to see it.

i do appreciate them not letting the thread fall off of page 1 of the forum tho, that's mighty kind of y'all.

Why wouldn't they, they have a vested interest in keeping the thread on page 1, too. The more 'healers' joining the strike, the better the queues will be for the scab healers, and should the strike succeed in its goal the scabs get... well whichever of the 3 or so manifestos posted so far that SE most agrees with will benefit all the players the most.

Or maybe we're popping in here because we want things to change but see the strike itself as wasted effort.

bless your heart.
sweet pea, if you PERSONALLY stick out maining a healing class (of your choice) throughout dawntrail and the 7.x patches just to spite me specifically, i will applaud you. because that'd be really cute tbh. and trust me, if i wanted to be rude, i would be.

I've been maining healers in MMORPGs since 2008. I'll still be healing when 8.0 rolls around assuming I don't die or end up with a disability that prevents me from playing.

I'm not out to spite anyone. I'm just saying that a strike isn't going to accomplish what you hope it will.

Have fun doing whatever it is you end up doing in Dawntrail.

The fact that you had to twist a silly joke into this shows how unserious your comment is.

But if you need the reassurance: No, constructive debate is obviously always welcome. But if you come in here making fun of others you'll have to endure some teasing in return.

Edit: also to clarify - no I don't want them to stop, personally I don't care. I just think it's genuinely amusing when people throw in these jabs when the only thing it does is keep this thread at the top. You may say visibility isn't always good but no visibility is even worse. If they see you there's at least a chance your feedback is taken into consideration. Out of sight and it means the issue is certain to be forgotten.

I remember how much of an ordeal it was to do the first EW trial because there were literally no DPS and Healers queuing due to do many people leveling SGE and RPR and being behind. Duty finder was absolutely not working, I was only able to do it in a PF full of all tanks. And that wasn't even due to a strike. If enough people didn't play healer on purpose it would absolutely cause an inconvenience to a lot of people.

Why do people have such a big problem with Healer mains? It's just a game, why do you care that people just want to play the role they enjoy and have fun with it at all levels? You can do that with DPS and Tanks, why not healers?
When I do MSQ with my SCH, and get into an instanced single duty, it takes a very long time since my kit doesn't help with this scenario. I have lost and have to repeat a lot of them. Either because I got ambushed by too many enemies, a character died when they were supposed to stay alive or the thing I was supposed to protect was destroyed because I couldn't deal with the enemies fast enough. Even with the "Easy" difficulty, this problem persists. It is not very fun to do and have to go through the same solo duty over and over because my kit is not working in this environment.
Also during MSQ, you get the "Kill X amount of enemies" quests. I remember being in early HW story when I had to kill 3 Vanu Vanu, I didn't have my Chocobo out and was killed over and over. My kit is not built for any for on solo play. But all other roles are.

Dungeons are not much better. To put is simply, I hate that they only way I can enjoy my time as a healer is when I get a bad team, otherwise I will turn into a Broil spammer with a few heals here and there.
I like the PvP kit SCH has so would really enjoy if some of those abilities were given to PvE!

And for people who like the design we have now. Why don't we leave WHM as is and make the rest a range of different difficulties?
Like: WHM is the easiest, followed by AST, then SCH and SGE.

Even in this theoretic scale, I would still main SCH. My experience in other MMOs has taught me that I like medium to high difficulty jobs. Even if they would be just as powerful as WHM, there are people who like to engage with their kit more. There should be a Job for all types of difficulty in all roles. If I want something harder to master, I should have an option and no one should be upset because, at the same time, there will be an easier Job to master. So everyone is happy.

I just want Healers to be fun to play.

I doubt people would bat an eye if healers who are bored with their rotation simply put playing a healer to the side without making a big deal going public about it.
I've seen other complain threads where people talk about what they don't like about a certain job far more civil and on topic than this.
I think it's simply because people have called out for a strike on playing a healer until SE fixes them that has caused the uproar from either side.

[ClayyLmao]

When you have people like:



A person who's making fun of the players here, actively trying to incite fight and puts baseless assumptions.
You know, it would be okay if you had valid counter arguments, but you're giving off very troll vibes.
And then, players wonder why everyone is telling each other to fuck off from the thread.
What the fuck.

Teehee, I'm just a little miscreant!
