#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

The interesting thing is you don't actually know that they want to "go back", and certainly not where they want to "go back" to. Focusing more on job identity could mean so many things. It's such a general sentiment that we can only speculate as to what that would look like and where they would take their inspiration from.

They have literally said they overreacted to feedback and made the game too simple and unexciting. Yoshi P has said the current direction of the game makes him fall asleep while playing.

And I'm sorry, but it is absolutely rose-tinted glasses. I'm very confident that a majority of the playerbase, if given the choice, would prefer the game in its current iteration over HW. I could absolutely see an argument for some aspects of StB, but there were issues there that I would not like to see repeated.

Do you care to repeat another circlejerk crowd-pleasing non-argument? And I am once again proven right like the seer I am:

but it's much harder for people to justify why the positive aspects of the previous expansions cannot be brought back into modern FF14. It's so hard that nobody ever tries to tackle it and resort to the lazy attempt to dismiss everything as nostalgia.

Maybe it takes 160 IQ for modern homo sapiens to understand how to separate the good from the bad of an expansion.

Maybe it also takes 160 IQ to understand that people don't have nostalgia for shitty netcode or having to wait 7 minutes after wiping for Hallowed Ground or having to wait 4 minutes for the Astrologian to roll double ExpBal for an opti run. They liked the good old days for other reasons.

That doesn't refute my point at all about us not knowing what that new direction would look like. Saying they're not a fan of the now does not mean they're going back to try and recapture how it was. But yes, please continue to condescend and think that you have a third eye that can see all.

Don't forget that the reason they wiped with Hallowed Ground on Cooldown is because the PLD died during the Hallowed Ground animation, just before the invuln effect applied, and, It. Is. Still. On. Cooldown. Always 'fun' to see, even though I was only playing casual at the time.
