Both are just as bad.

I actually went to WoW and I am having my mind blown at how engaging healing is, it is a lot of fun. This is what is confusing me. How is it that square can't make the role of healing engaging and fun for those who enjoy the role of playing healer and support. The healer role in FF14 is also missing a big part of what makes healing fun in most similar games. The healing and supporting, I don't mean supporting by slapping down damage but by having ways of buffing your allies or debuffing enemies. Square has taken everything from one role and spread it out so much among other roles that the role of healer just isn't needed.

Meanwhile, every DPS job in the latest patch: "Due to player feedback, we have changed X"

For healers: *dead silence*

Huh, I guess they didn't get any player feedback from healer players.

Or maybe they looking at the insane amount of work they need to do and :
- Dev: "Chiiiiiieeeeef! there is way too much work to do! I don't want to do it! I quit if you make me do it!"
- Chief : "*sigh* Ok.... Just put some more charge on this and a bit of potency of that and be done.... It's not like they are a lot anyway"

There is no point for them to talk about this. Japan players are happy with the simple healer rotation and they don't care if the hardest content can be done without healers, they see it as a challenge. JP and NA/EU have diferent thoughts about this and in this case JP won :/

That’s honestly another reason to complain, this games blatant favouritism of JP despite them being a vast minority within the game (last census put them at barely 26% of the playerbase)

It’s hard to get a perfect read of the EN playerbase on healers but on something like VPR where it was clearly JP wants change EN doesn’t EN should have won out by nature of being 75% of the total playerbase

This is nothing new. If you played any other MMORPG, which most probably hails from Korea, the devs will favor feedback and inputs from their own people, the Korean playerbase, even if EN is the majority and KR the minority in players.

Square Enix is no different, they will only listen to JP playerbase and "pretend" to listen to EN but will do nothing actually. Companies like Blizzard, ZeniMax (ESO) and ArenaNET (GW2) are Western companies which means they'll listen to feedback from EN community most.

The funny thing about this line of arguing is that the JP playerbase constantly complains that only EN is being listened to. So, it looks like SE are listening to nobody and just claiming to.

Uh bad argument, very bad. You know what is also 25% of the playerbase by design? Healers. Why should anyone cater to them when they are a vast minority of the playerbase? DPS players make up 50%, that is were the money lies.
