#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[UnconfirmedCat]

Nah, the point of the thread seems to be people desperately calling attention to themselves and making it about them. The person you're responding to pointed out anyone could simply choose not to play a healer without having to make oneself the center of attention for doing so.

Sounds a lot like "You're allowed to stop playing healer, but don't you dare actually talk to people about it! Shut up and stay quiet!" Also, you're the one who has chosen to enter this thread full of people you disagree with regarding an issue you disagree with and calling attention to YOURSELF, by posting. You're a hypocrite.

"Want the game to be better for me personally" would be a more accurate statement. Discussions in this forum would be much more productive if people stopped trying to act as if personal, subjective opinions are somehow objective fact. For example, I'm very much enjoying healing where it's at right now. Making a significant change to it could be something I end up finding even more enjoyable...or it could make the game "worse" for me. It's all a matter of opinion. This kinda goes along with the first person I quoted.

Ok, so I enjoyed the healers back in SB, they were fun, and ShB ruined that fun for me, but because you personally "enjoy healing where it's at right now" my fun no longer matters? That ironically makes you the self-centered one here as the devs took something that many enjoyed to cater to your tastes rather than those that already enjoyed it.

Also yes, we are choosing not to play healer, that's literally the point of the strike, it's kinda ironic that Striker doesn't get what a strike is.

We've been complaining about this for 5 years. You can check the other healer threads. This is not the first time we've brought it up, but the moment we put "strike" in the title suddenly everyone wants to talk about it. We have had our feedback ignored for so long we had to escalate our language to be heard, and it has absolutely been effective.

I honestly don't know what you healers want... do you want every hit to be chipping everyone for 90% of their hp or something so you feel more engaged, or what? Because if that's the case, most of us will just quit because at that point armor and stuff is pointless. I am really unsure how to even 'fix the problem' because all of these arguments really boil down to a simple fact of, "I am burnt out on playing the same role for 5 expansions." Which applies to every job.

Have you tried unsubbing because of your unhappiness? No? Still giving Square a monthly subscription and buying the expansion every time? Well no wonder they're ignoring your feedback, you're telling them one thing and doing the complete opposite.

Bait? There's no bait here, you just don't like what I'm saying. So instead of listening to the logical counters, you cover your ears and call anything you disagree with "bait." The only people I've argued in bad faith with are the people who deserve to be argued with in bad faith. Everything else, I stand by 100%.

How about, if you want to be taken seriously, you uncover your ears, stop calling anything you don't like "bait," stop responding emotionally, and listen. It's a lot simpler than it sounds, and it sounds pretty simple.

You have yet to provide a good argument.

Strawman, we just want more than what's currently done.

Odd, I still enjoy RDM after all these years, but I hate what happened to SCH.

More what? More that what's done? That could mean literally anything.

Tell us exactly what you want.

To better inform yourself on the myriad reasons, please see the extensive thread linked in the OP documenting the longstanding issues healers have that are affecting players from all skill-levels and interests.

literally read the first post that started the thread, we specifically added a little section of things we're looking for,

and no, 90% raid-wides aren't on the list, nobody here has played the same job for 5 expansions either since they got completely overhauled into different jobs in ShB
