#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

Yeah I think a lot of people misunderstand that this strike is not attempting to disrupt the game.

Probably because Strikes are actually designed to be disruptive, so there is odd messaging to call for a strike specifically but state it's not seeking disruption.

Strikes are inherently supposed to be disruptive, as if striking employees do not disrupt the employer's operations in any way it will have no effect whatsoever. In fact, if that happend they'd probably only show that their jobs aren't needed at all and later have them downsized lol.

Strike here is likely being used more in line with a "hunger strike"- strike as a form of protest (much like a hunger strike isn't disruptive to anyone but oneself and our collective social morality).

I'm not gonna strike, but if y'all do that it will make the queues pop even faster for me because of less healers, & I'm a healer main. So win for me I guess? I'm on Dynamis so it isn't always an instant pop as healer as often as it is on more populated data centers.

I've never heard this one before in this thread. I'm glad you felt the urge to post this :>

Ahh, so I guess those healers stopping by to celebrate their quick queues are the equivalent of eating a cheeseburger at a hunger strike lol.

Lol I love that comparison!

Finally, a small bone is thrown to sage, and almost immediately taken away.

Thank you dps healer, for being the same as all the others.

Yeah.

SE really hates giving anything fun to veteran Healers that enjoyed Stormblood and before huh?

I guess. I was more illustrating that "strike" can sometimes be used in place of "protest", the hunger strike analogy doesn't really perfectly hold either because food is delicious, and XIV healing is slowly becoming closer to "nauseating" with every expansion for a part of the playerbase.
