#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[ForsakenRoe]

It does seem like devs are catering to some bizarre, misguided feedback literally nobody agrees with.

This is the biggest question on my mind in recent days. Not 'how are you going to improve healers', but 'who, literally who, asked for this'. I want to know who the heck they're taking their feedback from, that led healers to the situation we're in now, and to kindly advise them to ignore that source of feedback for the rest of forever, because said feedback source hasn't the first clue about basic game design principles. I want to know who asked for healers to be lobotomized as far as they have been, because if SE says 'we'll fix healers' but continue listening to this mystery feedback source, the 'fix' will be just as poisoned as the current designs.

Like, who the heck asked for AST, the healer based on fortune telling, an act based on interpreting the randomness of drawing cards from a deck, to be made non-RNG? If I were to decide to go to a fortune teller at a carnival, I don't expect me AND the 5 people in front of me in the line to all get the Chariot, the Star and Temperance as our card draws, because it's meant to be random

But the main reason I want to ask 'who asked for this' is because each and every day, I feel more and more like there is no feedback. If the answer to 'who asked for this' is 'the devs themselves, none of whom actually main a healer', then it goes a long way to explaining how we've ended up in this mess, where a Savage is cleared with no healers just 12 days after release, the Battle Tactician healer has ended up looking like a nun, and the Fortune Teller healer is somehow able to perfectly draw the exact same hand of cards they drew 2 minutes ago
