#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Moonjava]

I've been seeing this direction of arguments not only from you, but from others as well. It aims to reignite the flames between the two factions of healers. While there are still green-DPS, and heals only healers cemented in their ways, the dev's direction has united them because now neither of them are enjoying the healer role. While one side would still like to see more damage options, and the other would like more punishing content, both of them are easily replaced in duties by a tank, and to a certain extent DPS jobs as well. Sorry, but this angle isn't going to work. Not under the current status quo, which is only going to get worse come DT.

The two factions of healers have shown that they are willing to compromise with each other and meet somewhere in the middle. Now is as opportune a time as ever for the dev team to make the proper changes to make this role fun for most of those who like to play it. It's time for them to give back some of the ground they've taken.

I really don't care what direction healers take- that's not my point. I'm looking at this from a cost/benefit perspective. Let's say currently, X players are upset with the state of healers and want them to change, and Y players really love the state of healers and would be upset by any change. SE cannot truly know the relative values of X and Y. The options are invest 0 resources and have X upset players, or invest a significant amount of resources and have Y upset players. Without significant evidence that X >>>> Y, I fail to see why SE should invest in a rework.

I understand the point of this "strike" is to try to give SE that evidence that X >>>> Y. But demands like this:

...are unjustified until that evidence appears.
