Fellow Healers, Arise! The Call to Arms for the #FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE
Hear ye, hear ye, valiant healers of Eorzea! Gather 'round as I, a humble White Mage of 90 summers, bring forth a message of hope, humor, and righteous indignation!

Brothers and sisters in healing, the time has come for us to stand united, wands and globes held high, in the #FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE! Our once noble art has been reduced to a mere side gig, an afterthought in the grand battles that shape our world. Gone are the days when our timely cures and shields were the linchpins of victory! Now, it seems Square Enix wants us to be nothing more than glorified waterboys for the almighty DPS and self-sustaining tanks. We shall not go quietly into that good night! No, we shall spam Medica II and Glare until our MP bars run dry!

Why do we strike, you ask? Let me preach to you the gospel of our grievances:

Simplification Sorrow: Our role has been simplified to the point of absurdity. Spamming a single DPS spell? Is this what we've been reduced to? NegativeS from Seraph aptly said, “Our gameplay is braindead, devoid of the challenge and excitement it once held”​ (Square Enix Forum)​. Casting Glare until the twelfth Umbral Era? No more, I say!

Role Marginalization: With tanks now practically invincible and DPS classes learning to self-heal, where does that leave us? Sitting on the sidelines, casting Regen on ourselves out of sheer boredom. As Etherea Stormaire from Zalera poignantly noted, "The direction they're heading, healers will soon be as relevant as a snowstorm in Thanalan"​ (Square Enix Forum)​.

Feedback Ignored: We’ve raised our voices in hundreds of threads, but our pleas fall on deaf ears. The developers remain as responsive as a stone-faced Lalafell in the face of a Garlean invasion. We've given feedback with the fervor of a bard on too much coffee, yet here we are, still waiting for meaningful change​ (Square Enix Forum)​​ (gamesradar)​.

The Plan, My Comrades, Is Simple:
Let your auto-payments lapse – why should we fund our own frustration? Let our houses expire, so some poor DPS can have a plot to call home, because heaven knows they’ll need something to do during those extended queue times without us!

A Rallying Cry for the Future:
Our role should be engaging, our presence impactful. We are the linchpin of the party, the unseen saviors in every battle. No more shall we be content with the status quo. We demand complexity, we demand respect, and most of all, we demand FUN!

So, rise up, fellow healers! Embrace the #FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE with the fervor of a Scholar casting Succor. Let our voices be heard from Limsa Lominsa to Gridania. The dawn of Dawntrail must be a dawn for healers too. Together, we are stronger. Together, we are healers. Together, we shall strike!

And to those Warriors out there, soloing dungeons with the audacity of a primal on a caffeine binge, remember this: Without us, you’re just a lonely adventurer in a dungeon full of mobs. Enjoy your stroll, because when the real fight comes, you’ll be calling for a healer’s embrace.

Heal on, my friends. Heal on.
