The people who started the "us vs them" thing are the content creators. Not people in the healer strike thread.

To be clear, this isn't the only content creator doing this. I will link more examples if I have the time.
The difference here is that this isn't "us vs them" in the same way. It's just the content creators not agreeing with your points, potentially in a bit of a mean way, and frankly bringing up what people have/haven't cleared *is* valid criticism, because if you want harder content, you should try harder content. I know plenty of healers who think dungeon content is at a good difficulty as it is now. If you don't think it is, then maybe you should try extreme, or savage, or ult. Nobody looks to normal dungeon content as a sign of what is or isn't balanced in the game.

Willem's post though was in turn a response to my post about Shadowyzero's post, which was literally based on fabrication. "Content creators are in the pocket of SE because they don't say anything bad about the game" is patently ridiculous. Heck, Zepla literally made an entire vid about how much she hated Endwalker (which people joked about being enough to keep her out of the media tour) and she still ended up in the media tour.

Frankly, some of the healer strike points are good, and I could see them benefitting healer players in the long run. But the moment it started being "us vs them" wasn't content creators vs you, it was when the healerstrikers decided they were important enough to hold the playerbase hostage. Luckily though, this isn't actually enough of a thing to actually manage anything of the sort.
