    2) SE don't have the courage to say "Shut up we will still do it" at this loud minority.

    Until one of thoses problems is fixed, FFXIV will stagnate
    People say “don’t remove x” because square has shown over and over that if they remove x they will replace it with nothing and you’ll just have a less engaging rotation to compensate

    It’s even happened this expansion, DRG got a rework that basically removed the eye mechanic off mirage dive and just replaced it with pressing geirskogul, now mirage dive does nothing at all and the rotation has become easier

    MNK got its 2-2-3 rotation removed and basically replaced with “you have 6 buttons press which one lights up” and replaced that lost cadence complexity with nothing

    AST got card complexity removed and traded it with random heal bloat the class doesn’t need

    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

    I still hate that they did this. After losing timer management, the change in gameplay flow at least gave something to pay attention to, but then they changed it back into EW MNK without the timers because some people whined that they had to look at their hotbars.
