#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

Hmm..
I'm not saying that I'm disagreeing with you.
But seeing how Yoshi during the Pre-EW interview when he talked a little about Healers and he said that they didn't want to give them more DPS skills as it could make it more stressful for newer healers, this story only makes it feel like Yoshi would double down on it.
As in your story, those who don't often play healers, or healers in learning, Idunno, are portrayed as they're lacking in performance.
So Yoshi would probably just try and make them even easier to play so people who do have "difficulties" can still perform at an optimal level.
And/or even boost Tanks self sustains even further as some healers might be lacking. So to take off some of that burden from the healers the tanks can survive even better on their own.

The problem is that healers are always the easy out for bad players so they get targeted. A tank being bad at managing their defensives and dies, healers fault, DPS walks into an attack and dies, healers fault. Healer dies after getting overwhelmed due to everyone's mistakes, healers fault.
You will NEVER erase this. Healer blame still exists even in the current brainless troglodyte healer design. It will always have this stressful aspect.

Japanese developers need to learn this isn't a design problem it's a player problem. Some people in this game are still scared tanking in dungeons despite how brainless paladin and warrior tanking is. Making healers incredibly boring terribly designed healer bots for a game designed around damage healers at its core will never work. I don't care what JP thinks, I don't care what casual healers think, everything I have said is a fact.

I'm not agreeing with how things has been handled so far.
I too think that things are way off from optimal performances.
And sadly I got no real other comments at this time regarding it.
I was simply expressing that his story about the "glue-sniffers" healers might've not been looked upon by SE as a "oh, all the good players have left healing, we must do something to bring them back" and instead more of a "oh, the general performance of healers have dropped, what can we do to make it easier for them", considering Yoshi's earlier statements regarding how they vision the healer jobs.
