#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Wildheaven182]

Exactly, and that was my point. The clear tell for me that Square received more feedback that tanks were too squishy was them giving further damage migitation to tanks, which was the exact opposite of what was asked in this thread (removing tank damage migitation.) I do not believe that tanks are too squishy but nor do I believe they need their tank migitation removed. But I also know that I don't have a full picture on tanks since my highest tank is a 84 Gunblade. Hence why I refrained from giving a personal opinion on current tank migitation and focused more on my theory behind Square's motive. Ultimately my personal beliefs don't matter to moving the needle with Square if it's not the viewpoint of the majority of players providing feedback.

That's also what I wanted to get across to the previous poster, was the perceived notion of a grandiose number due to this thread having over 500 pages. Had the feedback been as high as some think, Square would not have went the direction that they did. Besides, 540 pages means very little outside of the fact that this is a very lively conversation. It surely doesn't mean that everyone in this thread supports all of the notions the Op presented cause I definitely don't and I'm adding to the page count. A better way to judge is to see how many people liked the Ops original post. That is a much better guage in determining who supports the message. Right now it sits at 368 people. This may seem like a lot, but according to mmo population, the daily player count for FFXIV as a whole sits at around 257,000 people.

That means at this moment, around 0.001% of the current playing demographic shares the same ideology as the OP. So the poster claiming 500 pages as evident of a large gaming bloc of FFXIV fell victim to being in an echo chamber and assuming this viewpoint had a much larger presence then what it actually is. And the key highlight of that is Square moving in the exact opposite direction that was asked via the Op (well specifically referring to the granting of additional tank migitation by Square vs the requested removal of tank migitation posted by the Op)

Alright then, some proportionally small vocality about problems with healers is meaningless but 0 vocality about tanks being too squishy must mean tanks are too squishy.

By that logic, everyone loved 1.0 and that's why squex made 1.0 the way they did. Sounds like squex worshipper jargon where everything the devs do is good and they are incapable of doing things that are unpopular.

Ah once again the classic putting words in people mouth. Never had I said the viewpoint people have in here is meaningless. I said I believe they don't represent the majority of feedback presented to Square. I have already indicated the fallacy of making the statement that there is 0 vocality about tanks being too squishy so I don't need to go over it again.

And since you only have 1 like on that post, that means only 0.000008% of FF players agree with it. Everyone else clearly disagrees.

No, because I'm not the one trying to claim that my viewpoint references the player base as a whole, and that's the entire point of it. Unlike some, I know that my opinion is just that. My opinion. People are assuming that due to the interactions on this thread, that this must represent a large portion of the demographic, which we can clearly see does not reflect the actuality at all.

You made an explicit claim about how many people share the OP's ideology. That is not only talking about yourself, that is making assumptions about the ideology of the wider FF playerbase.

it really is hilarious to me that yoshi p claiming they hear player's feedbacks and on the same breath the dev teams pulls the worst job designs upgrades in gaming history when it comes to healer role.
i cant really call them upgrades or expansion worthy changes... did they even tested them? or done a QA?
my guess is nope...
