You say unsubbing doesnt work, but look where it has gotten you with being subbed for the past 2 expacs?

At the end of the day, where does 300 people striking healers end up in a month after Dawntrail? Two months? Do you sit and wait for the next expac? If nothing then, what next? To me, this seems like a lot on non-committal effort for one of the trinity to change. People will eventually get bored and go back to their healer position when they need to for either queues or their PUGs as the seeds have already been sewn well within this thread by the strikers themselves. You even know have people talking about how Forums are already low population, how Reddit has already waved off the Strike, and now content creators are covering it but majorly negative.

I hope that Yoshi-P does make the correct changes in 8.0 with job identity and impacting all jobs (especially healers) and extend it to a refocus on either healer design or encounter design. But to me, I dont think this will work in its current iteration and ideas. Good luck on it, and hope you guys do make the impact you want to make.
Pushing other players to unsubscribe when they are unhappy with part of the game is weird and creepy. And claiming healers aren't serious when they refuse to unsub is transparently manipulative. People do not need your "help" to decide when they are still hopeful and when they give up and decide to move on from FF.

The time and effort people spend on the strike make it clear many healers think the game is worth fighting for and they still have hope for improvements. The number of healers speaking up in response to the strike should be celebrated, not whatever you're trying to do.
