You're assuming that there will be enough people taking part in this strike to make an actual statistical difference in queue times. Let's say you get a thousand people, spread out over all the NA and EU data centers. It's just....not going to make a big difference, sorry.

Healers definitely need some attention from the dev team, but this just...isn't going to work. I posted earlier that opening a dialogue on the JP side of the forums would at least get some attention. Flooding comment sections and streams for content creators would get the word out too. But what's proposed here...is just slactivism. Strikes alone don't accomplish anything, especially when people are still actually paying for the service that they are striking.

Like, what's basically happening here is people making a bunch of reservations at a restauraunt and paying in advance, and then just not showing up. Sure, the restaurant may look empty, but...you've already paid for the food. The restaurant isn't actually losing anything.

A strike needs to be accompanied by a campaign to accomplish whatever your goal is. Post on the JP forums. Storm comment threads. Make social media pages, in English and Japanese. Submit reports complaining to SE on their website.

And the biggest thing, *don't stop.* Keep applying pressure, and eventually the company would have to address it. Not something like this which will in all likelihood just be ignored.
