By its very nature, "improving" the game through a change requires the majority of the playerbase to see it that way. If doing something like adding a full dps rotation to healers makes someone here happy, but for every person here that wants it, there's 4 other people in-game who now find healing "ruined" for them, you haven't improved the game - you've actually done the opposite.



To the person who said this in response to someone saying they would now intentionally switch to healing...what? Are you suggesting the true purpose of the strike is what its supporters have been trying to deny all along - to take fun away from other people? Because that's the only way this makes sense. Aside from misstating your personal opinion as if it's fact (others can find healers well-designed and quite enjoyable right now), the purported purpose of the strike is to see the devs change how healers work. If other people simply slide in and pick up the current healer role in your place, the dev team has no reason to actually change anything about it. In the end, the "success" of the strike is measured based on one thing and one thing only - is the healing role significantly changed in someway, and can said change be tied directly to the strike? If the dev team doesn't meaningfully alter how healers work, then the strike failed. Plain and simple.
And as has been stated 10 million times you also have no idea that changing the healers wouldn’t be of net benefit to the game. What’s the point of feedback even existing as a concept if every piece of feedback can be deflected as “think about the fact that you may actually be a minority and changing this thing may ruin it for other people”

Under your system the only way feedback would ever be “valid” is if square enix comes out directly and says “guys we are telling you to your face everyone hates healers PLEASE tell us how to fix them” which we know they will never do
