Here's the thing. Comments like this - which are quite common throughout this thread - are just you being the one, going over to their (the dev's) table, insulting them, and then acting all confused that they don't listen to you. Not to mention the plethora of people in here that just belittle anyone who dares to raise counter-points. Oh, and for the record, two weeks in a row now that in both DF and the raid series, Tanks have been insta-queues for me while Healers are taking a minute or two.

We don't need to consider the amount of healers during the levelling period, what matters is the amount of people who settle as healer mains and whether that number goes down.
The goal posts just moved from the next county to the next state!

For fourm standards, 400 is huge. It also continues to be the fastest growing thread.
But compared to the playerbase - or even just other online spaces where FFXIV is discussed - it's rather small. This thread has also slowed down considerably as time has gone on.

However small we are, we are much more vocal about what we want, and a vocal minority tends to have their way over a silent majority.
So, you're acknowledging that what you want to do is just screech the loudest so the devs will potentially ruin the game for many other people just to please you? (The good news is the devs seem to be very good at using their own internal metrics to see what said "silent majority" really wants and then going that route.)
