#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

I mean, people were even talking about blacklisting everyone they saw taking part in this thread / the strike.

LOL. And they call people in this thread drama queens.

It's becoming spicy drama, for sure.

Well, I was called a liar earier in this thread for stating I saw negativity outside of the forums about the strike. It clearly exists.

[ZephyrMenodora]

Yes, it's definitely vitriolic in many places outside of this thread. I feel like that could change if efforts at outreach and communication were made, but who knows.

I'm not personally striking - but I do support this thread greatly because I agree with overall what it is trying to accomplish. I just think that the playerbase is too large, millions of players, for about 300 healers striking to make much of a difference. But, I do love how much attention the thread has gotten. Even if the strike itself does absolutely nothing, it brought a ton of awareness to the healer situation. Way more than any other Healer feedback attempt in recent years.

It's so surreal because the "call to action" of this strike is literally just "don't play healer if you don't like it", which is quite literally what people who think this thread is stupid have suggested us to do. So then if people do exactly that other people advocate they should get blacklisted.
Can't make this up.

I'm glad so many people are expressing how they feel about healing in FFXIV. It goes to show how passionate people are about this game. I think it'll be difficult to find the right foot forward since so many people like one suggested change, but others dislike it.

Either way I have faith the devs will do their best to respond to people's hopes.

At this point, the situation is like:

Striking people on this thread, Zepla to some extent

vs.

Almost all the other FFXIV streamers, hardcore players, most of the Japanese community, most players in-game (who are totally unaware of this or anything else that happens on the forums), WeskAlber and Xenosys and other content creators who think this is all stupid, the FFXIV subreddit, the FFXIV discord communities (besides the discord created for this thread) . . .


I feel like this thread would have a greater impact (besides being a source of entertainment for people not on the forums) if the thread's creators and supporters reached out beyond the forums and talked about their concerns with other FFXIV media and in other FFXIV communities. Or if they would produce content of their own on YouTube, etc. Right now this thread is attracting attention, but in a negative sense. I mean, people were even talking about blacklisting everyone they saw taking part in this thread / the strike.

Well, PCGAMER have picked up on it.
