I'll be blunt here. There is absolutely no way they can do this.

If someone plays a tank, they're probably looking to be a leader, a protector, there's no way to entice them to play a squishy job that supports people. Same for DPS, they probably want big numbers and low responsibility, there's no way to make them pick up a healer.

If they really want to boost healer numbers back up, they should start catering to people who want to play healer, not rework the entire role to try and lure people who aren't interested in healing.

People care more about gameplay loop than role fantasy. Its not like all DPS players like all DPS jobs equally.

Healer gameplay loop sucks and they have only one.

My primary experience with the other jobs atm is via leveling them. And healers without a doubt are ultra boring when spamming Aglaia. Knowing that this glare spam is the healer optimization endgame does not make one keen in playing them.

This right here. Gameplay is what we mostly engage in when playing a class, and a solid fun gameplay loops can make even boring or tedious fights kinda enjoyable.

I'm not talking about role fantasy, I'm talking about player preference.

If a player prefers to lead, they won't play a healer. If a player prefers low responsibility, they won't play a healer.

There's nothing they can ever do to the healer role to make these types of players play a healer.

Players change roles all the time. Both my static healers were melee DPS before.

And while I play tank now I could not care less about any leading, I only do so for current content because I only want to farm content once and with tanks I can use it for 4 jobs potentially.
