I was a Healer throughout my levelling during HW. In SB when I got into raiding proper, Tanking was my love above and beyond anything else the game had to offer. And then they simplified the parts I found fun about Tanking, out of existence, in SHB. I moved back to healing because of that, and my group (at the time) needing a healer. I wasn't exactly happy with SHB healing (compared to what I did as healer in SB, and by comparison to what I experienced in HW while levelling), but over time with EW and now DT, more and more actions getting added that allow us to throw out even more healing compared to the amount of incoming damage, the amount of time I get to enjoy healing (effectively, week 1-3ish prog) gets shorter and shorter.

I've already tried 'if you don't like it, swap role', swapping from Tank to Healer. So now what, I should swap to DPS, swap role AGAIN? Because SE screwed up what I enjoyed about two of the three available roles in the game? Just play a nice little game of Musical Chairs with SE, where every time they make a mess of the job/role I try to enjoy, I'm meant to just suck it up and move to another job/role? Even BLM wasn't safe from the 'simplification that alienates core playerbase', and if that job's not safe, then nothing is

Also, seems a bit tonedeaf to say to players who play an MMO, a genre known for 'players invest a lot of time into their chosen game', to simply up sticks and move to another one. Especially when the one they've invested time into, had what they desired already. That's why they invested the time in the first place. Do you think I'd have spent several thousand hours on this game, if my whole journey was as 'enjoyable' as how it's been with Dawntrail so far?
