    It's truly remarkable the effect echo chambers can have on people psychologically. I've come to believe there are quite a few people here who truly cannot fathom that the 99.98% of the playerbase that doesn't use the forums might not necessarily share their opinions. Let's be real - the dev team has far more information available to them than any of us perusing the forums. If they're intentionally choosing and sticking with a certain path, chances are good it's because the huge amount of data they have available shows it's a good idea.

    The negative echo chamber here, however, can't accept that the dev team likely is listening - they're just listening to everyone, as opposed to just the minuscule few of us that post on the forums. They've become incapable of considering that other people might find something fun and enjoyable that they personally don't. (And that's not even touching the point that the dev team has the freedom to decide what they want their game to be. We don't have any right to dictate that to them, simply to decide whether we like their product enough to play it and how to go about doing that.)

    Striker we are used to you claiming the majority with no evidence but that doesn’t even remotely match the point that the person you quoted is replying to

    It’s got nothing to do with an echo chamber that we are rightfully calling out someone implying we are directly attacking the devs, there is no majority there

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    The silent majority has spoken by making healer queues so short,

    if the game's playerbase likes healers so much, why aren't they playing healers?
