#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Fuzzout]

I love this thread, it's so spicy, I don't even need a curry xD

I think the problem with this thread is that it's outline is too broad...

Here are a few points I've gathered from the comments there:
1. Some posts here speak of healer rotations in high-end content being too simple, ESPECIALLY in static group scenarios where you know exactly what's coming and its unlikely someone will mess up.
-Me to the above: I agree to a degree. However I believe this can be off-set with fun fight design (TEA and DSR come to mind) - where the execution of the mechanics put the fun into the gameplay.

2. Some posts are from - normal mode enjoyers have outgrown the normal mode content but refuse to acknowledge this and think that normal mode should be balanced around them specifically. All of that while not taking the accountability of actually having to engage with further/more complex content (which exists) under their own terms.
-I have no words on the above, I think I already said my piece.

3. Ultimate raiders who have played for long enough to have their character/job be an extension of themselves (those who know what I mean - know what I mean) - have reached a point where it's simply not engaging enough, they need an Extreme Ultimate mode or something to push them further, or the jobs have to be made more complex.
-Me to the above: This is a rough one because if they make an even more difficult piece of content, the rift between normal and high-end ever-increases and the player skillgap becomes crazy. But that's not for us to worry about, that's for CBU3 to think about.

4. The old content (and some of the early DT content) doesn't give healers enough to do in situations where the party does not mess up.
-Me to the above: And this is by design because if you're not being challenged by this content, then this content is no longer FOR you, it's for Johnny Sproutstorm who started playing a day ago and boosted to 90 to join his friends.

And here's my ultimate point: Despite this "healer strike" being something you're meant to rally behind, people providing ANY point that opposes or even slightly differs from your own - is seemingly ill advised.

Due to the broadness of the outlines of this strike AND the extremely varied skill range of the community involved - this will never get a direct, actionable point across.

So perhaps instead of attacking, shutting down or accusing people of trying to attack you or the cause - extract meaning, ideas and points; then actually create a final post with the distilled essence of what would make your combined lives better.
