#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[aiqa]

Giving a developer money while actively campaigning against their design decisions with no plan if nothing changes come next expac makes this whole seem performative. Its why gamer strikes are considered memes.

I agree with the message and the healer feedback, but not the methodology. Sub if you want, unsub if you want - but going on a full crusade like this while having no "line in the sand" only shows the non-committal nature of it all. We have seen it other MMOs, we'll see it again - I hope I am wrong.

The plan is to switch to another role. Was that not obvious?

And they already got some negative publicity from the strike, it's an item on multiple gaming newssites. Companies can (and should) be sensitive to negative sentiment and publicty.

Why do you insist on the need for further escalating a confrontation with SE? I mean, you're perfectly free to follow your own advice. But you seem weirdly pushy to try get other people to do unsub. With the sideeffect that they will stop being paying customers so they lose an important reason for why they can request changes. You're giving of very strong vibes of a high school troll trying a "did you hear what they said about your mom!!" just for the resulting schadenfreude.

So what people would be doing in Dawntrail with new jobs....anyways? Like come on.

Just because I dont agree that the strike will be impactful, doesnt mean its trolling. It means I dont agree the strike will be impactful to what is being asked for.

People do all sorts of things. I have little interest in the new jobs. And I would be maining healer in DT is the role didn't feel so weak in pointless in lots of the content I enjoy.

I made it clear enough that the vibe of trolling is related to being pushy trying to get people to unsub, not about a generic disagreement over the outcome of the strike. Getting people to unsub will only work against them. It's the same irl, when people go on strike they don't resign from their job. And anyone that goes into that with some version of "you know, you should just resign, that will teach them" most likely has a hidden agenda and isn't concerned about the person that is striking or the cause of the strike.

No, its really not lol - usually striking leads to negotiation with those in charge because a large aspect of your workforce is now not working and protected from being fired. Usually, unless you wildcat strike - a lot of strikes are done after negotiation to an issue has fallen through with objectives to cause further negotiation/deal making as it will affect the business.

What is being described is a protest, not a strike. So no, not as applicable.
