    While this data may not be completely accurate, it's the only data we have access to, and it's not painting a good picture for the healer role.
    That's the issue - we have no clue how accurate it is. Trying the idea of "any data is better than no data" doesn't work, because bad data is worse than no data. Let's acknowledge the reality - the only people who have full, accurate data are the devs at SE. They're also a corporation that needs to make money. If they're dead set on a certain direction, you can be sure the real data supports that decision.

    So, tell me, would you say they made money off of Island Sanctuary?

    Which just circles back to another point of the strike you refuse to acknowledge

    We want to be heard, if square has such hard and fast data that proves unequivocally that healers are exactly where they want them (never mind it conflicts with every piece of partial data we have ever collected) then they need to tell us that. In a feedback forum paying customers deserve to have their feedback acknowledged even if they don’t choose to act on it (ignoring us for 6 years is not an act of acknowledgment)

    In 6 years the only design decisions around healers they have ever written down that’s not a poor “pwetty pwease pway healers” is those useless change logs on the job guides that tell us nothing of actual use

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    You can have all the data in the world, but that does not preclude you from making a bad decision.

    There's nothing indicating that the developer team is making the right decisions either, even if they have all of the data, that doesn't mean they're interpreting it correctly.
