Boring gameplay is actually a genius design decision, you wouldn't understand
it/its - 14 accessibility is bad, ease of access is not accessibility, jobs are boring. Transphobia ruins real attempts at criticism and it's whack.
FFXIV is probably the only game I've seen people deflecting criticisms by saying "it's meant to be boring" "it's okay to be boring."as someone begrudgingly playing healer through this first half of the expansion (to get raid ready)
i think the strike is pointless & funny.
like - i feel that healer is meant to be straight forward, boring and un-dynamic.
its not meant to be engaging outside of heals and ressing a party. they do have pretty magic tho and glams are okay.
there has been disgruntled healers since the ShB changes to the class so this is nothing new.
but i think the video re-opened the door that held all of the ignored complaints about healer since ShB.
i dont support the strike- but i get it. maybe healer will get a small revamp in 10+ years if Mr. Yoshi-P is still able to grace this world & cares enough.
But healer is meant to be boring based on how it has been altered over each expansion. some perhaps like its simplicity, but its simplicity has also widened the "im a healer, i dont need to dps" tunnel too. its like working retail, youre expected to all the things and help others, but get very little in return while dealing with people's BS. it can be a thankless & unrewarding job. But tank can also get the same treatment at times.
and since it doesn't have any dynamic play style or any fun inside of pve, and now some players have made it look redundant. So what?
although ive cleared dungeons without a healer. but it was due to the healer incompetence or DC. the video is nothing new or special.
It's eye opening, really
honestly maybe
playing healer makes me lose my mind little by little
but i got a staff i like at least
abd by boring i just mean 1111111111111111111111-dot-111111111111111-dot-11111111111-dot etc etc. throw in a heal here & there. thats it.
im not okay with it being something that puts me to sleep after a 9 hour work shift, but it certainly does.
although my wording -after re-reading is definitely cynical i wasnt trying to pretend it doesnt have its problems either bc it DEFINITELY do
- and i think im using upfront & honest explanation of what it's become. a boring class to play long term.
nothing we want to change about it will likely ever come to fruition, so it is what it is atp. :/
